A lot of the computers here don't have Java installed and instead of having everyone download the latest JRE, perhaps I could rewrite the programs using Javascript. How practical is it to do that?

Depending on the needs of the application, it could be impossible. The best approach if wanting to move from a desktop client app to a web based solution is to go client/server where you do all the grunt work on the server and use html files to render the view.

There are a lot of options available like PHP, RAILS, ASP.NET, but most of us here are partial to Java based web applications also known as JEE.
