Any pointers? ideas? suggestions?
Yes, use javascript and inform the user in real-time and before
they send the junk to the server. Of course, you then have to
scrub and clean everything, but you would have to anyway.
That works OK for something like a date or making sure that a
mandatory entry exists, but for example for a user name that has to
be unique you need to check it against your tables. Can't do that
with ECMAScript.
It helps to picture it this way:
1. Javascript is for user convenience, avoid submitting mismatched
passwords, malformed dates and so forth.
2. Server checks are about integrity, unique, referential and other
constraints
Exactly.
Cheers,
