It still confuses me on how you guys think adding pure client-side
validation is so difficult. From many of the comments on here, you'd think
it takes days to implement. 

In fact, there are hundreds of options available to you for making this
easier. Adding some advance client-side logic (that's unobtrusive) generally
takes me an extra 15-30 minutes. Maybe a little longer if I'm hiding/showing
a bunch of irrelevant fields based upon data input (once again--all done in
an unobtrusive manor.)

While I'm not a fan of CFFORM's client-side validation, it's there and it
works--no JS knowledge needed.

Then there are the slew of JavaScript API's out there that make the job a
cinch. There's a learning curb to using the APIs for sure, but generally
once you do a couple of forms, development from that point on is extremely
fast.

There's absolutely no reason to be developing multiple versions of the same
page or that adding pure client-side validation should be a huge drain on
your time.
