Michael, You are probably in good shape with your current practices.
Even so, you find benefit in looking into Unobtrusive JavaScript. http://onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/ Look into substuting the "graceful degradation" approach (wherein you make sure that you deal with situations such as JavaScript being disabled) to a "progressive enhancement: approach (wherein you make sure that the system works when the minimal requirements are met, but works better when other features - such as JavaScript as available). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement I have found these ideas and approaches to be extremely valuable. I also really enjoyed the book "Dom Scripting" by Jeremy Keith. I can't recommend it enough. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590595335/ [plug alert:] My free sebForms custom tags also follow the above guidelines but allow you to handle your client and server-side validation from one set of custom tags (eliminating the redundancy in code). http://www.bryantwebconsulting.com/cftags/ Hope that helps, Steve Bryant 918-449-9440 Bryant Web Consulting LLC http://www.BryantWebConsulting.com/ http://steve.coldfusionjournal.com/ >Happy Friday everyone. >As I have always done as a practice, I replicate all data validation on the >server side (CF), even with the extensive use of client side Javascript >validation.
