Facing exactly this task, Microsoft once invented C# and Silverlight.

Here the same code (written in C#) can run as well on the server as on 
the Client (i.e. in the browser). It's up to the user where he places 
each single function.

To me this sounded like a great idea and I felt that the basic design 
was very well thought out and promising.

But obviously the public interest shifting from PCs to mobile devices 
made Java the winner over C# and finally Microsoft dropped Silverlight.
