write in ANY-OTHER-LANGUAGE and output to javascript?
<p>For my day job, I program in python or c++.  I'm trying to make a "slick" looking website for my mother.</p>

<p>Problem is, javascript is obscenely difficult for me.  Nothing seems to work the way it should.  I have tried to use jQuery and mootools and scriptacous and I just keep wanting to hit my head on the desk repeatedly.  python/c++ come very naturally to me -- but with any of this javascript nonsense, I'll try to combine a couple of examples in the docs and everything stops working; javascript/css seem so easy to break.</p>

<p>Is there any kind of interface builder out there so that I don't have to touch javascript/css?  The website doesn't need any fancy server side actions, she just wants the website to do things like have a slideshow where the pictures fade, the pages slide in and out, etc.</p>

<p>Is there any kind of program online or off that can build this for me?  I use linux exclusively -- but would be willing to buy windows and whatever program to get this done.  I'm beginning to think my computer is possessed by the devil.  </p>
