Yes, You have to had client-side write in JS. But its not so huge  as 
You imagine.
But maybe I dont understand your need.
You think about counterpart of LCL level, or computation wide consist in 
event (form.onclick, form.onedit) function in Delphi ?


All You need is simple manipulation of HTML: change innerHTML, 
innerStyle and traverse trough DOM tree. Today I have less than 1k LOC, 
if future will be twice as grow. With this most of widgets ans its 
behavior can be achieved.
Most of work is done by CSS, which is static. And this is no place do 
translate pascal to JS


Second stage I don't move to browser side. For me it will be very big 
mistake.
