You are suggesting using it for form validation. That makes since, but do you worry about people that don't have it turned on? How do you handle that? If someone doesn't have javascript on, are they just out of luck? In that case have you lost out on someones buisness (or has whom ever hired you lost out on someones buisness?) I understand on high traffic sites it is probably a good thing, but what about a backup plan for the people that don't have it on?

by the way, there are cars designed for people that like to drive with bald tires, you can usually find them at the local drag strip :~)
update: corrected spelling

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it, unless I'm wrong in which case I will probably change it ;~)
