Paul Benedict commented on VALIDATOR-232:
-----------------------------------------
I don't use any javascript validation on my apps because, specifically, I do
not want to expose any mask elements. In a perfect world, I could switch off
validation scripting for these fields -- not just password fields -- on an
as-needed basis. But because I don't have this freedom, I only do server side
validation. And if I had this option, I may find in the future how useful this
is for other things...
You raise a good point about switching off validations per type or substituting
corrected scripts. However, you'd be surprise how many good java developers do
not know javascript :-) In some instances, a person may simply just choose to
turn it off rather than replace it.
I've been viewing this issue to something like CSS stylesheets. With the CSS
"media" attribute, and I get to say which media the styling belongs (screen,
printer, audio, etc.). Likewise, I believe it is good to give developers the
freedom to direct what media the validation belongs. For Commons Validator,
there's two media components: scripting and Java. If I don't care for how a
script works, I'd be more willing to disable it and rely on the server-side
version than replace it.
While I haven't done this yet, I'd be very interested in replacing some
client-side validation with perhaps DOJO/Ajax validation. I may want to (1)
have only one form field that uses Web 2.0 features, (2) keep the standard JS
validation on other fields but (3) still rely on the server-side validation for
all fields as "standard practice". It opens up some interesting possibilities
here.
