SHA-1 Hashing

|
More of a memo-to-self than anything else, but:

How To: Hash Data with Salt (C#/VB.NET)
Paj's Home: Cryptography: Javascript MD5 (Which despite the name does contain info on creating SHA-1 hashes using Javascript)

The only question I need to adequately answer is; is it really worth hashing the password that's sent over the wire by pre-processing it with javascript. For a login conducted over HTTPS, I suspect the answer is an emphaatic no.
