==== Client Side ==== 1. Check missing fields (Check it if js enabled) 2. Check pattern (js also do regex, but not powerful as Perl) ==== Server Side ==== 3. Pick up data ( you may have to deal with GET and POST ) ## Do 1 and 2 here if client side disabled js. 4. Check referer / session id /cookies / whatever (Aim to check where the form sign from) 5. Check yours own expectation on fields perference. That's all about on my point of view. > > I have a form which the user > > enters dates like '08/01/2002'.

Then you even no need to check it, so you can put you focus to avoid 31/02/2002 etc. Rgds, Connie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
