NYCPHP Meetup

[Woolsey, Fred]

Additionally, if you are designing Intranet apps, or at least apps where you
can specify what browser and version must be used (e.g., for use by a
specific group of users, such as employees of a single company), coding is
simplified by having a known client interface.  And, while it is indeed true
that data must in any case be checked at the server, it isn't a bad idea to
protect against innocent mistakes (like typos) on the client.  Rejecting
client-side scripting out of hand for straw-man reasons isn't a good idea.

Cheers,
Fred Woolsey

That's not really accurate.  Javascript, CSS, and DHTML are all very
useful if you know what you are doing.  Browser detection makes it
possible to implement client side languages without worrying as much
about widespread compliance.  The drawback being longer interface
development time as you would have to design UI for multiple levels of
compliancy.  With this setup and the good client side coding, you can
save the user time in reloading a page or make it easier and more
interactive to perform a task, thus saving bandwidth and other system
resources.

/dev/null  :)

While I'm joking, I'm also serious.  The only legitimate use for
Java'sCrap is mouseovers.  Relying on the browser/client for anything
isn't wise.

Most things done with JS can be done server side much more accurately.  
That's why you've subscribed to a PHP list, no?  :)
