>>If anyone has any comments in this approach, I'm all ears. I agree with you, but let me just add that server side validation does not have to work exactly the same way.
What I mean is that client side validation is to be preferred and used mostly for the user comfort, when server side is especially needed to prevent from malicious data sent by people who intentionally will deactivate Javascript and client side validation. For instance, one may check client side that a requested field is not empty, or that a date is a valid date, and friendly warn the user if something is wrong, before he submits the form. Server side, I will let the database engine protests if the field is empty anyway or if the date is still invalid. I will not loose my time with people horsing around with my forms and trying to work around my user friendly interface. Thus, server data validation can be limited to security concerns. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
