Hi

I work for a small Public Library and am rebuilding our website.  
But I could use some help with a few problems.

I have several online forms to build, but I’m not sure which way is best to validate them. Ajax?, Javascript?, Php?

Since this is a local Library website, the people visiting the site varies.  
However many people viewing it will be Older, and will be using older computers.

I’m trying to find a system that’s easy for me to use/implement, works well on older systems, yet is easiest for older people to understand and use.

I’m looking forward to any suggestions you may have.

Thanks

Uhm.
