The Client side and Server Side Validation (2/3)
However, the Client side Validation also has disadvantages. One of the main drawbacks is that client-side support for scripting languages varies, with some browsers supporting scripts very well, others supporting bits and pieces, and others supporting nothing at all.

Most client-side validations are completed using the special “onSubmit” event of a form, which grants one to run JavaScript code to handle form validation when the visitor attempts to submit the form.
