Javascript is great for enhancing and automating webpages. I use javascript in almost every webpage I make however, this being a perl group, I thought I'd give a perl answer. Also, the script is already in perl and javascript, as I understand it, is local to the client. Java applets or servlets would be required to access/store data on the server that is not embedded in the webpage. In that case, I still think that perl is a faster/easier/better solution.
