Well, is a user turns off his _javascript_, it's HIS problem, and _javascript_ is so much used
that chances he ever reaches a page with a form are very low anyway.
>>Secondly, most JS validation is only written to validate type, not value.
??? I can write code in _javascript_ to verify whatever I want, almost as easily as in CF.
The only thing I cannot do is check values against data stored in the database.
This should be checked on server side of course.
But most of the validation can be and SHOULD be done client side on the contrary.
The advantage is that it is much faster and the user still can go back to make the necessary modifications.
Many sites using server side validation will just tell you there is an error and just redisplay the empty form,
this is very frustrating. If verification is done server side, the server must return the user to the form with the
field initialized with the values the user already filled in, even if there are errors.
With _javascript_ validation, this is automatic.
