I'm currently integrating Adobe's Spry form validation into most of my sites and its been wonderful so far. There's no need to have windows beeps as you call em when theres far more graceful notifications to the user that can be done.
Also, providing client side validation is great for you and your client for a couple reasons outside of best practices. - if the customer is on a slow connection you've potentially saved them 2 page loads if you're action page redirects back etc vs a possibly cached script load up front that provides immediate feedback. I've seen customers who share a QoS'd T1 for their entire ... off-shore ... hundreds of employees operations ... and you know what.... who do you think gets blamed for slow page loading from them? =\ - saves on bandwidth to some extent possibly (unless you gorge on js files -cough- prototype :D ) not having to make multiple round trips for the same data subset. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
