For e-commerce sites, I think I'd probably have to jump through the hoops to accommodate more users. But at this point, I haven't created any e-commerce sites. Just not used in this area (so far)...
My sites are mostly informational... Real Estate, church sites, etc. And, up to this point, I haven't used any forms that would require JS at all. All validation has been performed with CF. The JS front-end is something I'm just starting to get into. And that's why I started this dialogue... to get some perspective for those more experienced with using it and the issues they face. Thanks for your feedback...

I'm far from paranoid about security, but there are security risks with HTML mail, especially on Windows. Plus, I find it to be a distraction from the actual content of email (if there is any).
