Pretty much. How else would you do it? An applet is another way, but
overkill.

Learn the ins-and-outs of cross-browser JavaScript. There are whole web
sites devoted to it (you can get some from the DHTML section of my web
page: http://www.gis.net/~sstirlin/). Most cross-browser issues (to my
knowledge) revolve around conflicts between the DOM APIs of Netscape and
InternetExplorer--these crop up around link and image roll-overs, and
GUI-intensive DHTML. Validation of strings of characters and numbers
(making sure an email address is in valid form, or that a zip code field
has the proper number of digits, etc.) shouldn't pose too much of a
problem for cross-browser compatibility.
