The only portion of your question that relates to Perl can be answered by saying, "Use print to output whatever HTML you wish for your script to produce."

What HTML (and Javascript) is needed to produce the look you're after on your website is... an HTML / Javascript question, and should be posed to an HTML or Javascript forum.

As an aside, if you're struggling with CGI in general, pick up the book, "CGI Programming with Perl". If you're unfamiliar with Perl, start with "Learning Perl" first, or the CGI book will lose you quickly. Both of those books are published by O'Reilly & Associates. It will also prove beneficial (if not crucial) to read the documentation for CGI.
