As I was struggling with the syntax trying to figure out how to use
javascript to load a .txt file, process it and then spit out some html on a
web page, I suddenly found myself asking why I was trying to do it with
javascript rather than PHP.

Is there a right/wrong or better/worse approach for doing something like
that? Why would I want to choose one approach rather then the other?

As always, apologies if I'm asking a terribly basic question.
