If the user has JavaScript disabled, simply implementing client-side
validation wouldn't catch errors.
If you're *only* going to implement one method and cannot dictate what
browser a client should use or it's settings (as in an Intranet), it *has*
to be ColdFusion validation. If you've got time left over on the project, go
back through your application and add in the JavaScript as a courtesy.
The most complete solution would be to use JavaScript initially and then
re-validate the data when it's been returned to the server.
