I'll probably do it with html+javascript because I know how to do it
and I find Python GUI programs tedious to write (probably because I
don't do it enough).

Because it must be web browser based, if Python, it would require
Django or Flask or Bottle. Bottle's the simplest, and it's more than
enough featureful for this task.

The only thing I don't have down pat yet is sanitizing each input field.

Thomas, if I do this, what user-supplied information do you need
captured?

Thanks,
