I spent a fair amount of last year working on a UI in javascript, that
among other things allowed you to draw diagrams of how you wanted your
system's configured. You can do pretty much anything in javascript if
you feel like it. The time was mostly spent getting the app nicely
translated with proper logging etc and making the back end do it's thing
and configure the various server's as requested. The graphics was the
simple fun bit.

Several of these issues are solved by using a js library such as dojo
which aims to make it simpler to do decent ui stuff and makes it easier
(slightly less hard) to get stuff to work in the various different
browsers. The dojo test pages (that I can't currently find :- ( )
showoff a variety of effects.
