Hi all,

Can you help point out references to materials that will convince people to
validate inputs on the server side.

Thanks,

If a user turns off javascript, you have no validation anymore.

Well, one primary reason is that you have to protect your server code from
malicious clients. If you only did validation on the client, someone could
for example use a telnet session to post erroneous data to your app, causing
it to crash.
