Sounds like you're wasting your time trying to get this working with just static HTML pages. I think that it's possible, but you would have to do a lot of really nasty javascript hackery to make the button targets dynamic. Alternatively, the HTML could be truely static and pre-generated using a program written in your language of choice. No special software is needed for either route, but they both sound painful and really more trouble than they're worth.
Your best bet is to create a dynamic web application which generates these "day pages" on the fly based on a URL parameter (e.g. ? day=20081110). There are scads of tutorials out there on how to do this sort of thing in various languages (particularly Java). You should have no lack of resources on that front... Clojure can essentially do anything that Java can. If you can run Java on your server, you can run Clojure. No need to install extra software, just bundle the JAR with your application and call the interpreter API pointing at your scripts. With Clojure's interop capabilities, you should be able to use *most* (if not all) Java web frameworks. The code may be a little less-than-Lispy, but that's just the way Java was designed.
