Unfortunately, client-side validation by itself is not sufficient. The user could be using a browser that does not support scripting (that is, using an ancient browser or has scripting turned off via the browser preferences). As well, client-side scripting is potentially vulnerable to script exploits. These can happen when a malicious user enters a javascript <script> block into a text field that can later cause harm when the entered data is echoed back to the browser.";
