This cannot be done with simple static HTML.  If I understand
your goal correctly, it would require a 'dynamic' web
application of some kind AFAIK.  In other words, you are going
to have to borrow, or write, some (web) scripts to achieve this
kind of thing.  PHP is an excellent web scripting language BTW
if you decide to investigate this further, and reasonably
accessible to the non-programmer too.

HTH,
