Best way is to do it both ways:
JavaScript to make a more user-friendly page, and server-side
validation in case JavaScript is disabled AND to catch programs that
simulate posts by writing directly to a socket. It's really easy to
do that - via telnet to port 80, for example, or via PHP (see the
posttohost function at one of the code libraries - see px.sklar.com,
or phpbuilder.com, or on of the other resources).
