you missed the point, many people miss the point - it is common. Shawn's whole post was on 'where' to validate. Question was: how to colle..... Also to tell someone straightaway : go and read the manual, or RFC or consortium's recommendations is also not a 'brilliant' suggestion, it shows how you do not want to(or can not) respond, but still responding. I would assume most of the people know about perldoc/manpages/RFCs and white papers. people are looking for sample code, or corrections to their 'published code'. i was hoping to get some sample code to take cue from. after i thought about it a bit more, i liked the suggestion of Octavian Rasnita(and also fish), please read his/her response. he understood the question (and his response was balanced). (again if u r curious more info:) I agree .js can be compromised, but this webpage is in trusted environment with extensive user-activity-logging. thx Bob !! ________________________________ From: John SJ Anderson <geneh...@genehack.org> To: beginners@perl.org Sent: Friday, September 30, 2011 1:04 PM Subject: Re: How to get the multiselect select box or checkbox element values WITHOUT using CGI module On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 13:33, Rob Dixon <rob.di...@gmx.com> wrote: > John, whether or not you meant it, you came over to me as criticising > Rajeev for denouncing every reply to his question.

The rest of my reply, however, stands: doing this yourself, unless it's some sort of learning exercise, is a really bad idea. Further, had Shawn not already addressed the issue, I would have included something with the same basic message he delivered (albeit with less swearing): relying on client-side Javascript code for input validation is also a Really Bad Idea. chrs, john. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
