This is a classic MVC question, and where to "put the network boundary"....
For user display layout, the question is somewhat crisp: put on client (in this case, js, css, flash, etc.); For user interaction, temporary values, incremental activities (e.g. partial updates, json) - this is a design decision: what can you afford to lose / have delayed validation on / risk not persisting? For persistent, important data, this is also a somewhat crisp question (server, per-session activities). So - the short answer is you need to decide, based on what makes the most sense, and gives the best performance for your users in their applicaiton. The old maxim: economy, performance, reliability - pick any two - comes into play. You have mentioned "performance" from the user interaction perspective (I believe).
