I'm rewriting a 2005-era ASP.NET app that currently does most of the display formatting on the server by building HTML strings which are then sent via xmlhttprequest to the client.
I can see how I might use MVC/Razor/JQuery/JSON/AJAX to just send the data content to the client, and let the client do the DOM display object construction, even if it requires a good bit of business logic.

There could be three such divs being displayed (overlapping) at any one time (along with a few much smaller ones, essentially popups).

What I'm hoping to find from EExperts is:
==> input/ideas/views on how to decide whether to put the display logic in the client, or keep it back in the server.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
