Exactly, I couldn't agree more. BTW, what is "*s*"?

*s*
Look the thing I am trying make, is that companies have all sorts of red
tape, I have worked with some very large corporations and I have never used
client-side validation without having server side validation to back it up.
Its common sense that until a browser is released that doesn't allow for
javascript to be switch off then it makes common sense to do so. I mean look
at cookies for instance, you need to make sure that the cookie is switched
on for most of the bigger sites to work and you wouldn't develop a site
without checking that. Besides it always looks cleaner if you develop an
application that will not crash, error out etc.

Client-only validation can be fine if the user is known and accountable. If
you "know" that they won't turn scripting off or send bad data to your
non-validating server and that this won't in turn corrupt your database or
create an unstable or insecure environment. If you "know" all of these
things then I'd say, go for it and don't use and server-side validation. The
only time you will begin to approach this condition is in a line of business
application or, big maybe, an intranet.

Why are people so quick to offer client-side validation, can anyone see why
we should NOT do client side validation or are peoples minds closed to this.

I may be misinterpreting this question but preventing blank spaces should
not be an option. Instead use client side validation (Javascript) or
post-processing (CF code) to take care of the fields that were not filled
out by the user.
