Hi!



Javascript is always client side.



It is a good idea to use client side scripting for form validation because

the data is checked before being sent to the server.

Ämne: [asp_databases] Server side or Client side javascript!!!





I am working on my Form validation for my Survey application (not sure if

I should use the server side or client side javascript).  My application

consists of 60 questions and they all use radio buttons.  All the

questions and values are pulled out from the database.  My goal is to

force the user to answer each question before they go to the next page.  I

have looked at several articles from 4guysfromrollar regarding to this

issue but I still don't figure how this could be done.



If you have seen other articles that relates to this issue, please share.

Thanks.

Javascript is both client- and server-side.

Data should always be validated on the server, and optionally (for the

user's benefit) on the client.

You can not rely on client-side validation as it is trivial for the user to

avoid it:
