Is it possible to send emails using just javascript?

Yes. Using a Webservice. You can make an AJAX call to the service. EmailYak is one such service (It's in a private beta now).

EDIT: This is still a server side solution, as the actual email is sent from the server. You are just communicating with a server via AJAX and telling it to send the email.
