I think that they were aiming to support more browsers by leaving most
actions on the server-side. Validation on server-side or client-side is,
in the end, a difference of opinion as you said. So you're right to
suggest a mechanism to choose between both. Like an attribute defining
"client-side" or "server-side" on each widget, and one default setting.
It's not there yet and I don't know if the developers are already
discussing/implementing this issue.

CForms still doesn't have any clientside validations, which in my
opinion is currently a huge disadvantage coz now you have to declare
the specifications (datatype, required, format) in the form definition
and again in your own clientside javascript stuff. It would be perfect
that the CFormTemplateTransformer could automatically create those
clientside javascript pieces or at least give a javascript-structure
with the metadata of each field in it.

Re: CForms: immediate validation of input fields
If I am correct, all stuff happens server-side. The fd:javascript will
happen at the same moment as the other validations (meaning sever-side,
on-submit). If you really want to have a client-side validation, you
can try to set some extra stuff in your template:
<ft:widget id=" ... "><fi:styling onchange=""></ft:widget>
The fi:styling attributes that are not used by the cform stylesheets
will be copied into your html input element (ending up with <input ....
onchange=""/>). So you can set a javascript piece in which you validate
your field in those attributes.
Kind Regards,
