As far as I know you'll need to do some dynamic web programming in something like PHP or ASP.... You'll need a webserver with a databas and an account for that database (probably mySQL).
You can't access a database using pure HTML. Its impossible for someone to look at the code for that page and then generate some database connectivity code. Even if the page is already written in PHP/ASP the data the web server sends back to the client for rendering in their browser is just html anyhow, all the dynamic coding is hidden....
Hope this helps

Just more info. You will need to setup PHP and webserver first. This website shows you how to setup Apache webserver and PHP4:
