accessing data from a web page

Hi all,
I need to create a web application.
I will probably need to web pages in this application. On the first
page, I would like to query a Sql table and list the rows returned by the
query in a List.
When user will click on any of the listed rows and click on Edit, I
would like to display the second page which will allow the user to edit the
selected record and save it back into the Sql table.
I know, I can easily create this app using ASP.Net. But the problem is
that the web pages will need to be accessed locally from laptops. IIS will
not be available to serve the pages. Each laptop will have Sql server
installed locally. So my app probably would have to use only
HTML,javascript/vbscript. It can't use ASP/ASP.Net.
I will appreciate it if you can provide me suggestions or links to
tutorials/samples that can help me with this application.

How about writing a fat client app to do this, instead of a web app.

If you can't use IIS, then it kills the idea of creating a web solution.
Do you have access to any other tools such as VB/.Net or VC++/.Net? Are the
local laptops on the same domain as the web server? If so, you could add a
header for the website in IIS and build/serve the pages as you normally woul
d.

be used in a browser of a third party app.
