form query

Hello everyone

I need to create a form for people to choose various options as well as
including their personal details.  I have three questions:

1) Is there a secure way to do this?

2) Can someone point me to a tutorial or a book that will show me how to
make it an "intelligent" form ie when the submit button is pressed, it
feeds back if there are omissions or inconsistencies? ( JavaScript?  And if
it's JavaScript, what about people whose browser doesn't support it or has
it disabled?  Will it fail to work at all as a form in that instance?)

3) How do I make it so that after the form is submitted a text copy appears
in the browser that can easily be downloaded and saved for future reference?

That seems to be more than three ;-)

Thanks for any advice.
