You need more than JS to accept file uploads and modify your site in response to form inputs. To do this stuff, you need code that's running inside your webserver, known as 'server side' code (excuse me if I'm patronising you here! I'm just trying to be as clear as possible!).

My personal favourite server-side technology is CGI (Common Gateway Interface), for which Perl is a great language. Loads of other people like PHP - and if I had more experience with it, I'd probably recommend it more strongly. It seems great. For your purposes, either of those would be great.

I'd warn against ASP (Microsoft's server side offering) but if you're an unredeemable windows weenie it might suit you better since you can do the server side code in a toy language (VB) rather than a real one that way.
