It's probably just my ignorance about the use of JS, but why can't JS be coded to insure clean code?
I mean, if I set up validation to only allow digits on the client-side, how can they insert hack code that will affect my server? (I really know next to nothing about hacking servers and the code that is used, so I really am just looking to be educated...)

To me, this pertains to the apps that my mom and I use....everything else uses server side or both. :) On 4/14/07, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok.... > > So I've been getting into jQuery a lot lately.
