Thanks for the reply David,Chris and Others.
But I think there must be an client side validation first and if it doesn't
work then server side validation must be there.
Anyway Its just a thought.
Actually I was working with Struts Framework and in that framework both the
validation have been implementated very nicely.That's why I thought that it
must have to be present in Ofbiz as well.
Can we start voting for it ???
Thanks for your time.

The real issue is that if you do client side validation you still
HAVE to do server side validation because client side validation is
not reliable unless you have tight control of the browser client
being used, and its configuration (since JavaScript can be turned off
in most browsers).
Because of that we decided to go with just server side stuff to
simplify the development. For custom UIs you can easily add client
side validation, and this is often done.
