One good use of javascript form validation is to lessen the load on a high-traffic site. Having the validation done primarily on the client side saves many page reloads as for 99.9% of users, the form won't be submitted with errors.

Of course, as you say, you always need to do validation on the server side too.

I haven't got a clue what you are talking about but I like the way you said it, and the poem was excellent..1

Choose a laptop...Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

Sorry couldnt resist.
