Hi Bertrand,
Nice to see you around, I stoped following your devs once I signed of

As I said on prior posts, that ANY is what worries me: to me and most
of my customers is between 10-20% of browsers and they prefer a
solution that works the same way for every user, than switching
systems.

I've done a lot myself of it, using qforms, js_validation, and hard
coded js, and in my experience the mileages varies a lot.

To be sure of the data received, validation has to be make also on
server side, you can't rely blindly on the data you have received.

Me too, but I also simulate the behaviour using my own smarty based
server validation tool, it's a bit more code writen (class="{styleform
name="name_of_the_field"} ) and it's hard coded, but works the same
way.
