>From what I understand, those stats are compiled from millions of websites with the Counter.com's tracking script installed. And even if their script did not weed out popular spiders/bots (which I would assume they do since to do sell their service as well) the percentage of REAL hits is scary enough to ALWAYS make sure we do server side validation first and foremost.
In fact, as horrible as it sounds, none of our sites have JavaScript validation right now. We rely on server side. Mostly because 95% of our clients were corporate and pharmaceutical. So we stuck with that mantra. We do utilize DHTML menus on a lot of our stuff - but for the pharma and corporate, we have a non-JS backup. We are scheduled to add JS validation sometime this year to everything. But it is not a priority.
