Hi Tee, I suppose I can turn off the server-side validation if client-side validation is used, but I am concerned with the accessibility issue You can have it both ways. The JavaScript can work before anything is even submitted to the server (very AJAXy) so the server-side validation isn't

You should always do server side validation. Implementing client side validation does not affect this at all. On Feb 12, 2008 4:08 PM, Sajan Franco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The sever side validations must be done even if the validations are done at client side too. this is because it is

In my experience client-side validation works fine with screen readers but you need to be careful how you present any error messages. It is increasingly common to see them slid in silently, and this is a big problem not only for screen reader users but also for magnifier users because they are

A website I was working on, client wants client-side validation, something fancy, something Ajax. The whole point of AJAX is that it's *not* client-side. It's both. So your client is a little confused if they said that.
