It's a HTML, thus not suitable for "web" use, as opposed to M$'s little

It uses VBScript so it's IE-restricted
The HTML is a bit poor
The CSS is a bit poor

HTML isn't a programming language, it's fundamentally a static text
markup language. So stick static things into it statically.
If you want to generate this programmatically (probably overkill for
days and months, but the principle isn't bad) then do it with some
server-side program that's _external_ to the HTML document itself (and
it's only a line or two of ASP, even ASP/VBScript).
Embedding executables into static documents is only sensible if you're
deliberately trying to obfuscate things, or you're drawing Hilbert
curves.
