What kind if validation would you do on the server side for a form? I think (probably quite reckless) that most people will have JS enabled etc....I do see what you mean though - then again, if I was going 100% server side I wouldnt bother with Client Side...can be arsed doing it twice.

Of course we all realize we need server side validation but what's often overlooked is the amount of server processing that can be reduced as a result of using Javascript. Also in the absence of a good api like the ones provided by pengoworks, building your own involves the minor task of ensuring its cross browser compatible.
