Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 08-30-2010 [eluser]ToddyBoy[/eluser] Which method of form validation do you use and why? I can see the pros and cons of both methods. I was wondering which is the more popular method. Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 08-30-2010 [eluser]WanWizard[/eluser] I guess a mixture is my best guess, altough jquery isn't always involved. Client-side vs Server-side would have been a better choice. I always validate server-side, no matter what fancy features are build into the form. Client-side validation can sometimes be functional, but I only do it if I can stay client-side. I don't do ajax calls for validation. Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 08-30-2010 [eluser]tomcode[/eluser] I always validate on server side, client side is convenience, but not trustworthy. Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 08-30-2010 [eluser]dreamer111[/eluser] ONLY!!! server side. anything client-side can be easily faked. Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 08-31-2010 [eluser]victorche[/eluser] Of course server side! jQuery fancy stuff can be eye candy, but this is not a real validation... Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 08-31-2010 [eluser]leonardteo[/eluser] I'd say server side as a baseline, and use JQuery if you want to do some special user experience where it validates on the fly or something. Form validation - CI vs jQuery - El Forum - 09-01-2010 [eluser]misplacedme[/eluser] Both. Validate on the users side so they user is quickly informed if they have wrong/missing information. Validate on the server side because you can't trust the user not to send you invalid data. |
