It is my understanding that it is bad practice to use Javascript in web 
programming, as different browsers interpret Javascript differently, 
and some browsers do not have Javascript enabled. A quick example that 
comes to mind, is Star Office 5.2.

I believe (and many will disagree) that processing should be done 
server-side, to minimise differences in what web site vistors see.
