Ooh.. i have issue with this. Validation should always be carried out on the server side.
If validation is done on the client side, that is good, but server side validation is always a must, especially if data being entered could cause problems with data integrity ( i have seen this happen before). Server side code is the last defence and the safest as you dont need to worry about whether or not javascript is enabled in their browser.

Besides this is a better approach once you don't want your code to do the avalidation in the server side and then post that the user made a mistake. Keep validation in the client side always Siomara pantarotto >From: Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: how to keep form data >Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 09:19:47 -0600 (Mountain Daylight Time) > >when a user submits a form, the content is checked and >if anything is invalid, the user is prompted to >correct and submit the form again. > >how can i keep the content the user typed in before? > >I am using RequestDispatcher.forward("originalform.html"); > >is there a flag or something to set? > _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
