web forms question

on a webpage like this:
http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DDCWGA1&s=dhs
there are a few things going on that are beyond the scope of the formatting and linking i know how to do with my rudimentary command of css and html.
what i mean is that users may select a radio button, and their selection updates a displayed price figure based on their selection. when they go to a different page to select a different component, the configuration they've selected thus far, and it's price, are remembered. then they may select another radio button which again updates the configuration.
their information is saved for when they go to check out. then when they check out, their order info and payment info is sent somewhere.
how does one do this? javascript? is it fairly simple to do?

A server side programming language. On this page asp.net is used. Php, coldfussion and a few others could also do the trick. Personally I am only good with php, and could easily write a script to do this.

a server side language would mean you'd have to refresh the page for changes to appear, right?

Yes I didn't look to close at it. A combination of javascript, asp.net refreshed an a iframe. I am sure the iframe tag is embeded within the external javsascript file, therefore it isn't visible when viewing the source.

I am not sure 100%, but it looks like some scripting combined with a backend script.
you can update diffrent frames with dhtml, and probably do much more with stuff i dont know about.
what exactly are you trying to do?

That probably isn't needed, seems insane. Most of it could probably be done on the server side, although I guess it probably takes a load off the server.
