True... there will always be luddites amongst us. :o) But with 500-lb gorillas around like Google offering apps that are hard for many to resist, we will always inch closer to JS (or other technologies) be the de-facto standard. Some people prefer to never eat a Krispy-Kreme donut, but I say they don't know what they're missing! :o) -----Original Message----- From: Josh Nathanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 7:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation? >I know you're approaching this from the perspective of handling > those who don't use js... but I'm leaning toward assuming js, > and letting the rest go.

Unfortunately, we as developers don't get to demand anything. Our job is to make things work within the requirements of our applications. Also unfortunately, for some of us those requirements include users without javascript. > The "Web 2.0" functionality is going to force the issue.

Google's market cap is like $160 billion. They can do whatever the hell they want. That being said, I think the percentage of users with javascript enabled will steadily increase but never reach 100%. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:275488 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
