I've said it before, and I'll say it again: JavaScript is great for PRE-submission checking, but the script can never, MUST never rely on it to do final verification. Even if you assume all the users you care about use Javascript, you're also assuming that all the users who can submit data are honest. They're not. -- Karen J.
