I've listed a complete JavaScript for creating an MD5 at the bottom but it's really pointless without a secure connection for several reasons.
If you MD5 the password and store that MD5 in your database then the MD5 is the password. People can tell exactly what's in your database. You've essentially just made the password a longer string but it still isn't secure if that's what you're storing in your database.
If you say, "Well I'll MD5 the MD5" you're missing the point. By looking at the network traffic, or looking in your database, I can spoof your website and send it the MD5. Granted this is a lot harder than just reusing a plain text password but it's still a security hole.
Most of all though you can't salt the hash client side without sending the salt over the 'net unencrypted therefore making the salting pointless. Without a salt or with a known salt I can brute force attack the hash and figure out what the password is.
If you are going to do this kind of thing with unencrypted transmissions you need to use a public key/private key encryption technique. The client encrypts using your public key then you decrypt on your end with your private key then you MD5 the password (using a user unique salt) and store it in your database. Here's a JavaScript GPL public/private key library.
Anyway, here is the JavaScript code to create an MD5 client side (not my code):
