It all depends on the traffic to the server. I agree that any checks should be done on the server anyway, just in case someone has js turned off. But to reduce the load on the server, you can use js to at least filter _some_ of the traffic.
Also, using js to alert a user of an error is much quicker than having to submit to a server, wait one minute due to network conjestion, etc., and then find that you typed something in wrong :( -----Original Message----- From: Analysis & Solutions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 2:25 PM To: PHP List Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Spam Bots/E-mail Addys On Fri, Jun 14, 2002 at 12:32:05AM -0300, Manuel Lemos wrote: > On 06/14/2002 12:03 AM, Justin French wrote: > >On 14/06/02 12:45 PM, Manuel Lemos ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > > >>Javascript-less represent less then 0.5% of the users in the World. > > > >I'd be interested in seeing this data proven.

My target audience is the folks who are smart enough to keep JS turned off. I keep JS off my sites because I want them to be universally accessible. Considering there's very little Java'sCrap does that can't be done server side, there's very little reason to use it.
