Sounds like you need some sort of scripting back-end to your page. What
you choose depends on many factors, such as skill, cost, availability,
etc. None of these are related to CSS though, so the question is OT
here.

If you intend to host this page on a server, look around at CGI, ASP,
ASP.NET, PHP, Cold Fusion or any one of the other three million
scripting systems for the web. If this isn't to be run on a server, then
you are basically restricted to Javascript (AFAIK) and you are going to
have a tough time of it. Server-side scripting is way easier for this
sort of thing IME.

Hope this helps.
