client/server applications (RMI, J2EE) suggest to perform validation both on the client and on the server side, at least to save time when checking a form. 0.4 seconds against 3 seconds on the server it's a big difference. Form validation (and calendars for me) are the only use we make of JavaScript and believe me when I say that we are not big JS fans too. > > if your website's only selling point is performance then you should > realize that (all things equal) your best performance gains are had by > optimizing and beefing up your network/server architecture. > We don't have to sell website, for starters. We just have to design websites to sell the real product. And because our product is very popular, our websites are visited by many people. I agree with Jim Barrow that performance and maintainability (i.e. clean code, ease of development) are oftern playing opposite roles. > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
