Claude, If the client has Javascript Disabled then you cannot do any clientside validation at all, so it makes no difference. As an AJAX call only sends/returns a very small amount of data, it is very quick, and is still quicker than server side only validation if the client has Javascript enabled. It means you do not have to write two separate validation routines, and if you are using AJAX in your site anyway, it will save code and loading time as well.

Ajax or not, the idea is that I consider particularly awkward and cumbersome to interrogate the server just to confirm that a string is indeed an integer value, or a valid date in the calendar. This should definitely be done in Javascript in the client's browser. What if the client has Javascript deactivated? Then you have no Ajax either... -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
