I would do this initially server-side since the client may not have javascript enabled. If you are adding/removing rows client-side with javascript, then you may want to also have the ability to do it on the client after the add/remove event has completed. As much as possible you should try to have your interface behave well without Javascript unless you can control the browser environment (say, for example, in an intranet app where you can require that it be enabled).
