Hi,
i have to design a graphical interface as a part of a web application. the GUI is as follows:
a set of linked icons should be present. when one of these icons is clicked, a popup window should appear. this window should contain a set of predefined map files. the user is allowed to select one map file from this list.
the second icon, when clicked should allow the user to select a data file from a list of pre-defined files where the data file represents data about the already selected map.
the third icon should display a popup window that gives the user the option of specifying the colors to be shown on the map etc.this interface involves the design of customized dialog boxes.
i have been asked to try to implement this functionality using Java script. is it possible to implement this functionality in java script. if no, can you suggest any other software using which i can implement the above functionality?

It appears possible with javascript and xml, although a server-side language (php, perl, etc.) would make it easier to implement.
Only precise details of requirements could confirm implementation with js.

Update:
After reading your other posts, it now appears you need (partial) read/write to xml.
A server-side language would be more appropriate.
