Call PL/SQL stored function in javascript

Question

HI All
i have a stored function similar to this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_FULL_NAME(V_USER_NAME IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
    V_FULL_NAME USERS.FULL_NAME%TYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT FULL_NAME
       INTO V_FULL_NAME
       FROM USERS
      WHERE USER_NAME = V_USER_NAME;
     RETURN V_FULL_NAME;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RETURN (NULL);
END;can i call this function in a javascript function?
<script type="text/javascript">
function alert_fullname()
var str full_name = get_full_name("EMP001");
alert(full_name);
</script>i know this can be done in other way, but what i want to know is can i use a stored PL/SQL function/procedure to be called inside a javascript?
thanks in advance for any enlightenment,

Hi Broken,
No, you can't do that directly within javascript.
You can, however, use Ajax to make the call back to a page process that retrieves the fullname value and returns it to your page.
