Mainly things to beautify that cann't be done in CSS. Or make navigation or
data input easier for the visitors. Requirement is that the site remains
accessible when JS is disabled.
Also: handling the input of visitors before a request is sent to the server.
That can be necessary te reduce number of requests to the server. Problem is
that it's difficult or impossible to create a fall back procedure.
