i agree, for the most part.
one place javascript can be useful, though, is to avoid a "feature" of
Explorer, which will activate the 'Submit' button if Return/Enter is pressed
while the focus is on a single-line text field. i use code that just puts up
an "are you sure?" prompt when the form is submitted; started doing this
when we saw lots of people submitting incomplete forms...
