: Actually, you can do it both ways :) a CGI script will give you more functionality (for obvious reasons), but you might consider putting your information inside a .js file which doesn't display its contents in the browser source. Set up your server so they can only get to the .js file by loading the main page and you should be ok.

Javascipt is a low-end way to go. no security.
Cgi/Asp/Cf or whatever is the best way to go
With Older versions of browsers you can get the .js source, so thats not a very secure way to go.
Sometimes people try to do too much with Javascript.
The real professional sites out there do not use a whole lot of js.
