Thread-topic: JavaScript in e-mail for Web App

Here is what I want to do but I want to see if anyone ‘out there’ has done it and whether this is feasible.

1. User receives email on iPhone native e-mail client

2. User clicks on link

3. The link actually executes some JS that is embedded in the HTML of the e-mail

4. The JS write to an existing DB that has already been created by a Web App (is this doable or do security settings prevent that from happening?)

5. Once the JS has written all the data to the DB, the Web App is launched and the data is displayed

The reason that I want to do this is I want to ensure that if the user is notified of something that all the data is available when they click on the link regardless of whether they have wireless connectivity. So if I embed all the data in the email then I am all set.

What do you guys think?
