>>As an AJAX call only sends/returns a very small amount of data, it is very quick,
The overhead is not caused by the amount of data, but just by the operation of calling the server. And also the fact that the server now has the overhead instead of the user. >>and is still quicker than server side only validation if the client has Javascript enabled. How could it be ? The server side validation will be done by the template called by the form. This template has to be executed anyway to process the form, so even if it also does validation first, it will still be more efficient than calling two templates, one for validation, the otheone for procesing the data. >>It means you do not have to write two separate validation routines, Why two routines? What was validated on client side must not be revalidated on server. Things that should be validated on server are not the same. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
