Otherwise, how would you say, print stuff from a MySQL database (assuming you're using node.js) on a webpage? You'd need some way to separately print the MySQL data, and *then* (if it comes afterwards) print the rest of the HTML. Ugh! This is Horrifying! Surely there must be a better solution?

Thanks muchly for that Michael, this looks very interesting indeed! But there's quite a bit of stuff to wade through on that site - would it be asking too much for you to post just a snip of code showing me how to use ExpressJS to intersperse HTML with Javascript code?? :) (my head is kind of spinning reading all that stuff about "template engines" and whatnot on that site - I'm still not *that* adept at JS yet... :) (what's a "template engine", exactly?))
Thanks again for your help.
