A great friend just sent me this neat tool:

However, I want to keep abreast of something that has the least lines of code and is the easiest to use. Do you see anything simpler out there for doing client-side data entry validation but yet can handle as much as ValidLanguage can?

Re: Anything better than ValidLanguage for Data Entry Validation
I usually like to keep client side validation to the minimum. Dor some cases I will use it but only enough to get them(visitors) through, and then let server side to the rest of the work.
Mostly because of the easy way to stop javascript, as shown below.I just see it as a waste of time doing all the work client side, when you can easily bypass it, and you have to do it server side any ways.

Wow. Cut and paste isn't filtered. Didn't notice that.
And you make a good point -- most of us who even think of using client-side validation would most certainly mate it with server-side validation, anyway.
