Javascript can rewrite the contents of an html page or of specific
elements.  So it should be possible to write a straightforward html
form that would cater for non-javascript clients and add to it
Javascript that rewrites sections of the page as needed (scripts that
obviously wouldn't trigger in a non-javascript browser).

Be sure to stick to the subset of Javascript that is supported by all
the commonly-used Browers.  For these requirements that shouldn't be
hard.  Wrox do a "Beginning Javascript" book that I think you would find
helpful.  ISBN 1-861004-06-0
