I am using PHPUnit to test my PHP source code, but I need a way to test client-side code, too. I use ExtJS to build rather complex interfaces that call the server for data. I am wondering here is how does one test the UI?

There are many different ways.
If you want to test it functionally (like a user) then use something like Selenium or Watir. This will work through your site as a user would and exercise the JavaScript and the Backend code.
If you want to just test your JavaScript by itself then i would use JSTestDriver. It allows you to unit test your JavaScript. It doesnt support async calls but can do the test.
