xterradane -> Form Field Validation (11/7/2001 18:11:00)

I am currently using Front Page's form field validation property. Do I need to do some backup coding on the server side for any reason? Or will this work in all browers? Is there anything the user could turn off on their computer that would interfer with this?

thanks,
Gail

The form validation built into FrontPage is server side. The user can't turn it off and it would be difficult for even an experienced user to get around the server side validation... that cannot be said for client side validation.

In Que’s Understanding Front Page 2000 book it says the form validation is client side? Is it incorrect then? Isn’t it checking it before it is sent to the database?

Whoops! I did not pay attention. My bad. I need to play with FP more often...

The code (JavaScript) is generated SERVER side.

So, you would have a concern if the user has JavaScript turned off. The script would still be generated, but would not work.

This is just one reason if your serious about form validation you must do it on the server also.
