This group tends to discuss client-side scripting (as in your example)
but both the "historic single" and "birthday" examples are classic cases
that are usually best handled by server-side code.  (Obviously
JavaScript can be used server side (see node.js) but that's not really
the point.)

You should consider doing some or all of this server-side.
