<side-note status="unasked for">
And since it may or may not be enabled by or available to the client, 
JavaScript is often avoided as much as possible by the majority of PHP 
developers that I've been in contact with (via the PHP mailing list).  
This is not to say that JavaScript is not a good language -- it is a 
very powerful language -- but simply that given the choice between 
executing some code server side or client side (with JS), it is more 
reliable to do so at the server.
