Answering what I think you're asking:  Client-side validation (javascript) is fine for 
avoiding an
unnecessary trip to the server, but it's easily avoided -- you can just turn 
javascript off. 
Therefore, server-side validation is mandatory lest you open up security holes.

Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl:
push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//;
shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A
