True enough. But then, as I've stated previously, the only validation I've ever used has been with server-side CF, since I didn't care to spend the time to wrestle with JS and client-side validation.
When I heard about jQuery and its framework, suddenly I had a method to employ... something I could grasp without too much time and effort. Previously, the entire form would be validated at once, and the user returned to the form page with input data intact, along with appropriate error messages. With the AJAX schema, all that validation would be broken up into smaller parts. So, moving from a complete server-side validation schema to a hybrid AJAX schema wouldn't seem to pose any greater risk to server time and stress that the all-server-side schema I've been using... or am I missing something?

Maybe you get that, but somebody on the other coast is 90 ms away and that is enough to have started typing in the next field before the warning comes. Let alone somebody overseas.
