To add to Rudy's comments about JavaScript:

1.  It is useful for performing some tasks, where a server-side solution is 
not available, such as for browser sniffing.  But, if you can do this 
server-side, you will send less code to the client browser.

2.  CSS has a set of standards that are followed - eventually - by the 
browsers.  As people have said before here, CSS degrades fairly neatly, so 
there shouldn't be problems with older or non-conformant 
browsers.  JavaScript can become complex if it is to degrade neatly.  (And 
there is always 'noscript' to consider.)  Although there are established 
specs for JavaScript, there does not seem to be a common 
implementation.  Even Navigator has adopted the appalling 'innerHTML' and 
its horrid Gorgon sisters from 'JScript'; this effect can be done better in 
other ways, some of which already existed when it was invented.

David
