For simple validations, like requiring fields to be filled up, validating
date formats, email addresses, etc., it is best to do it on the client side.
For checking validity of the user, go server side.
Obviously, doing things at the client side won't bore your users to death
since it is fast and instantaneous.
You can check http://javascript.internet.com/forms/ for canned validation
codes.
