Client side is also stateless.  Every page load is a new context.   
The only way around it is to open a second window in which to store  
the data, or put your actual content in a frameset, (neither is a  
great option).  That's partly why the XMLHttpRequest stuff is so  
appealing.  Avoiding a page reload lets you keep all your state.

Code usually ends up on the server side because most sites can't  
depend on javascript being available.
