If I may be permitted to be pedantic for a moment, I believe that JavaScript may be used to provide "Assistance with Validation" (So you are both correct...)
"Security" can only ever be _reliably_ provided on the server side, but "validation of user input" is perfectly acceptable as client side code, with or without server side follow up, as long as the server can tolerate the effects of that validation not being carried out. As with all religious wars, the key to peace is understanding of the actual messages, not just blind repetition of slogans.
