"mysqli" in the sense of your question is presumably the class 
implemented in php to allow php to interface with mysql databases and is 
thus "server side functionality" in the client - server model of www 
transactions. It is further presumed that your reference to mysqli in 
fact means php code incorporating the mysqli class running on a web 
server and responding to requests from a web browser.

"javascript" in the sense of your question is presumably the scripting 
language implemented in modern web browsers and is thus "client side 
functionality" in the client - server model of www transactions. It is 
further presumed that your reference to javascript in fact means 
javascript code running inside the web browser referenced above and 
making requests to and receiving responses from the web server referenced 
above.

"work with" in the sense of your question is presumed to indicate the 
ability for javascript (as defined above) to access or change data within 
a mysql database using php scripts running on a web server using mysqli 
(as defined above).

I believe it has been explained to you in the past that for client side 
functionality to communicate with server side functionality, the client 
side functionality has to make some sort of request to the server and 
handle the server response to that request. Such requests when 
implemented between web browsers and web servers are commonly referred to 
as AJAX requests.

Commonly the mechanism by which what I believe you seek to achieve would 
be accomplished is that the javascript code in the web browser needs to 
make an AJAX request to the web server which results in a mysqli database 
transaction being triggered at the web server.
