    Hi Codehunter,

    Please refer to these links:

    www.powerobjects.com/.../workflows-vs-javascript-vs-plugins-dynamics-crm

    crmbook.powerobjects.com/.../javascript-vs-workflow-vs-plug-in

    JavaScript triggers when the user is on the form and is run on client side. E.g. If you want to hide or show a field when the users loads the form.

    Plugins are the same as Workflows but you can be go beyond the limitations of Workflows and is ran on server side. E.g. You want to set a value of a field with some data but Workflows are too limited to get the data you want. So you might want to write a plugin to write an advanced fetch query to get it.
