Personally, I don't generally use client-side validation. The problem that I see with doing validation client-side is that there is no guarantee that client-side scripting is enabled. Which means that any client-side validation must be duplicated server-side anyway. Any differences in server and client validation algorithms could be confusing to the user, or worse end up allowing invalid data to reach the database. If you were relying on a particular client-side validation that did not exist server-side (either accidentally or by design) that could easily allow invalid input into the database. I prefer to have all my validation logic side the model (server-side). I am of the opinion that it is the responsibility of the Model layer of MVC to validate data and not the View layer. Although the view objects can often assist the user with entering proper values, such as with drop-downs, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. But, I would not rely on the view for full and proper input validation. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
