Twitter Javascript OAuth : Get Access Token without Server Side

I found several answers and solutions, but most of it somehow integrated server-side helper.

I need something like Facebook OAuth Javascript for Twitter.

Desired flow should be (the same as FB.login() provides):

Without using any my custom server side page.
I couldn't read out from dev documentation how could I implement this.

And then, they realized the security problems this has and have announced they will be closing this method very soon :

You can use Twitter's @Anywhere to let users sign in to their account via JavaScript. Look here for example:

http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/begin#login-signup

Once the user is logged in, you can check their login state both from client and from server. On client, just use their provided function, and on server, you can validate the cookie. It is also described in that page.
