I recommend against the use of JavaScript on web pages.  Too many
browsers don't support JavaScript, too many people turn off JavaScript
because it's a security hole, too many incompatible versions of
JavaScript between browsers.

Just do server side programming with plain HTML.  Later on, if you want
to jazz up your web pages a bit, you can add some bells-and-whistles
with JavaScript -- as long as the JavaScript does not interfere with the
basic functionality of the web page.
