Javascript AES encryption provides a good solution to this question.

I think that encrypting things with javascript can work just fine, if you have a good use case for it. The fact that the code is open shouldn't matter at all, because encryption algorithms are well known anyway. Where you are going to run into problems is the way in which the private key is supplied. DO NOT put the private key in your javascript code. The key should be provided by the user only. As long as you follow that rule, you should be good.

If you put your web page(s) under https, then ALL your data will be encrypted, no need for additional algorithms/libraries/headaches

javascript code is in plain view online so any encryption method via javascript will be plainly visible, i don't think there's any realistic way to do that without using a server side language (i.e. php)

I would generally suggest that there is little reason to encrypt anything in JavaScript. If you need to transport something over the wire, utilize a secure wire protocol instead.

JavaScript has a number of deficiencies for this sort of thing, not the least of which is the fact that it sits in very accessible memory space if used in a browser context.
