I'll take your work for it... don't start hacking on my server, Jochem! :o) So the bottom line appears to be: Use JS is you want, but build everything, including interfaces and validation, as if JS is not available. If that's the case, then JS (and I assume AJAX is in the same boat?) would just be too much trouble for a general web developer. For specific apps, such as Gmail, I could see going to the trouble. But when I'm building web sites for the general population, it seems like too much work to employ JS and AJAX, and then pretend users don't have systems that can use them. And to think I was so excited about having some new toys... HTML is getting boring...

The argument is that one has to assume that the javascript in the browser is under control of the user and can not be trusted, even if it is present. > It seems that most on the list have been saying use the client-side JS for > user experience enhancement, but assume JS is not available. In that case, > I'd need to run server-side validation on everything anyway... Regardless of the availability of javascript, you always need server-side validation for security issues. Feel free to point me to a "javascript required" website with all javascript validation you have running and I will gladly demonstrate that need ;) Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
