I think 1 advantage that PHP has over JS is that if you have alot of forms with JS validation, then you are going to add alot of bandwith usage just from the transfer of the JS. But, if you use PHP, it only sends what it needs to.

Ilovetoast: Actually I thought you made some good posts about js which considered important aspects of programming design such as code maintenance and you backed up the pro-js case with some solid arguments.

Perhaps a php site is always going to have a slight bias towards server-side. I know I am a bit of a js luddite - I gave my reasons.

A well-argued case for and some comments "against" made for a good topic I think. It's always far too easy to rebound off each other on a discussion board.
