I'd need a more detailed view of what you're trying to accomplish in order to give you specific advice, but Windows/Internet Explorer has a feature called HTML Application (HTA) Host that essentially lets you write Windows applications in HTML and JavaScript. The scripting host built into Windows lets you do almost anything on your local system in JavaScript or VBScript that you'd be able to do on a server with PHP, ASP, or Perl. The MSDN section of Microsoft's site has excellent reference materials on HTA and all of the other IE-specific dynamic HTML features.
