Comment on Show HN: validate.js - lightweight JavaScript form validation libraryparent

Comments

It would also be cool if there was some documentation on how you might use validate.js in concert with server-side validations.

There isn't really any way to dovetail client-side validation with server-side validation.

Client-side validation should always be assumed to be disabled completely - view it as merely a convenience for your users. Help them switch dates into a correct format, make sure their userids aren't taken before they finish filling out their forms, that sort of thing.

I think the parent of your comment was talking about using SSJS to re-use validation on both ends of the pipe.

I will be adding server-side js support, so this will be a definite use case.
