I find plenty of uses for JavaScript on the Client while still using PHP on
the server.  Form validations present nicer to the user when done on the
client, there's not that anoying flash caused by the server round trip, as
well as the delay on a slow connection.  JavaScript is also useful on the
client to update info in the client without making a full round trip to the
server ( ie. hidden frame refresh with javascript to copy the data to where
it needs to be ).  And then there's features like popup help ( although we
all know real programmers don't write help... ha ha ha... evil grin here ).
While I do try to minimize my Javascript on the client due to fear of
browser incompatibilities, I don't avoid it because it has it's place.
