Client side validation should NEVER replace server side validation 
precisely for the reason you elucidate.  Bad actor types who are trying 
to do mischief can always get around javascript validation.  In fact, 
users who have javascript turned off don't have to do anything to get 
around it.

The purpose of client side validation is the offer assistance to the 
user so that s(he) doesn't have to waste his time waiting for the server 
to accept his results then reject them and ask for them to be re-entered.

So, you really ought to do both
