Use Node.js.  This O'Reilly article from 2011
http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/07/what-is-node.html introduces node.js in a
pretty general way.  Node.js isn't the answer to everything, and since it's
not directly related to form processing one might think it doesn't answer
OP's question.  But it is a great development that has happened over the
past n<20 years that does add another tool to the toolbox for solving web
application needs.

The other thing is to use HTML5, which among other things offers new form
controls like sliders and date pickers (http://diveintohtml5.info/forms.html).


Data-centric applications can benefit from a node.js implementation in
tandem with web sockets can make that data available to all clients in a
real-time scenario.
