    In the case where the code needs to run on the client side.

      Right, but what does it do? You can't save anything locally using Javascript; if you want to permanently affect anything you have to eventually invoke something on the server - and at that point, LWP can be plugged in.

        So who says something has to be effect anything permanently to be useful? ;) For instance, although we all hate them, popup ads would not be possible without client-side Javascript, and neither would most snazzy DHTML.
