You should rewrite your application so that it works with and without 
client-side scripting.  That design approach is called graceful degradation. 
It is not hard to do (see my example) if you start from the premise that 
client-side scripting is not available, instead of the opposite.  And 15000 
LOCs is probably too much client-side script code.  You might want to ask 
questions about parts of your code where it is on-topic.
