H.323 and SIP both offer a signaling-plane means of indicating DTMF, other than RFC 2833/4733.  For H.323 it's H.245 User Input Indications (UII) messages.  For SIP it's officially KPML (RFC 4730), but in practice it's not popular.  Two vendors I know of support it, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to rfc2833 or SIP INFO.

Well in theory the Javascript could send a message to the Web Server to generate a "dtmf event", which the server interworks to a SIP KPML NOTIFY in a KPML subscription.
