I am currently writing pages that require approx. 600 lines of
javascript in addition to the 3-400 lines of struts/html.

To do what you want you will have to have your submit call a validate()
js function which implements the userside logic you want. Obviously, you
will have to implement serverside checking as well, or risk db
inconsistency.

Any js primer will tell you how to get/set element values and how to use
the sick (My Opinion) language.
