Client-side Validator / News: Recent posts

With the explosion of thin-client development, most web applications do not utilize the resources of the client. It is almost viewed as 'taboo.' I contend that the client machine is a valuable resource that should be utilized for its processing capabilities.

Most web applications use server-side processing to validate HTML forms. This works but is very inefficient since the request must be sent over the wire, checked, and a response sent back to the user. Why not let the client machine do the mundane field validation and let the server handle business logic validation? This framework is written to satisfy this request and validate HTML forms where it should be, on the client-side. It is written entirely in Javascript and supports multiple browsers.
