Advantage is obvious!

If there is a field user didn't fill up, you can notify user about it
and ask him/her to fill the field up.

Do the math:

Validating after send:
1. Fill in the form
2. Send
3. (Load)
4. Validate
        - It failed = back to form
5. (Load)
6. Pre-fill the fields up with previous values
Repeat 1 to 6 untill user gets everything right
7. Do what you want with form data


Validating before send:
1. Fill in the form
2. Validate
        - It failed = info to user if something failed
Repeat 1 and 2 untill user gets everything right
3. Send
4. (Load)
5. Do what you want with form data

Ofcourse this does not apply to every form, but basicly this is how it
goes.

Yeah, before sending it. Just wondering what the advantage is in
validating before sending.
