at first I read this as meaning that you wanted the javascript, but on
further consideration I presume you want the database aspects of it
"off-the-shelf".  As others have said, I can't imagine that there'd be
anything out there that would fit exactly, and if there was, it'd be
megabucks.

but it can't be rocket science - I've written something myself in
ColdFusion/mySQL that does this sort of thing, so anyone can do it :)
