[thelist] Stopping a user submitting a form from the address bar using JS.

[Danny Goodman]

The submit() method does not trigger the onsubmit event handler of a form
element (in recent IEs and all NNs), so the URL approach automatically
defeats anything one hopes the event handler will catch.

Server-side validation is essential to maintain the integrity of a database.
Client-side validation is an enhancement to the user experience (like most
scripting/DHTML should be) and can lighten server traffic.
