This exposes the source of your confusion. Javascript is executed in the browser, while Perl, PHP, ASP and JSP are all executed on the server. So JS simply complements all of the others. The biggest issue is that you cannot depend on JS being allowed on the client. It is seen by many as a security problem, a very reasonable view, so it will be disabled either globally or by using NoScript or similar add-ons. As a result, it should never be used to enable critical elements of a web page, but only to enhance the presentation. Bob McConnell
Well, I kind of agree with you. It's still a scripting language. Regardless of its function. (At least in my mind.)
Still, despite all this, I'm not really any closer to a solution than I was when I sent the OP. I'm looking at the Template-Toolkit, and that might be a long term solution, but the dearth of 'beginner-style' documentation for it makes me think there's a fairly large learning curve with it, and frankly, if that's the case, I might actually stick with the devil I know.
