Note that what you are actually talking about is Javascript. Despite the
similar name, it is not the same thing as Java at all.

The Javascript function you have pasted manipulates the HTML DOM (Document
Object Model) dynamically on the client side. In other words, it's Dynamic
HTML. In the current implementations of the major browsers, the only way to
provide this client-side functionality is through Javascript.

If you wanted to do this on the server side (like in perl) then you would
have to regenerate a new page each time you wanted it to change. Not too
efficient, and probably not what you wanted.

To sum it all up, the answer to your question is no.
