The Adventures of Monkey and the Theoretical JavaScript
Okay, here's my theory:
If I had someone filling out a form and then, with a source file, controlled the making of a new file (first of all, is that possible?) containing template code (that I thought could probably also be controlled by the source file using a very very long "document.write('...')" command), could I use a tag like <p value="FormEntryName"> to insert the information I need into the sparkly new (theoretical) template file? I don't think I need actual code...I just wanted to see if it was actually possible before I went searching for ways to do this.  thanks!

You can use Active X to write to their hard-drive on IE in a trusted environment (localhost). But not really worth it...

This sounds like a better job for PHP...

PHP would do it most likely. Or a C# web modules deally. Or even some CGI-Scripts.

oh, I don't want to make something on their hard drive...I want to make a new page on the server--a file that takes select information and puts it into a useful (and pretty) format

PHP, or some kind of CGI is what you need (and should want :-P). I would suggest php, since it's far supreme to most other languages like that (oooppss, looks like i might start a war :-P ).
Also, there are quite a few developers around here that are good with it if you have any trouble.
