[removed] client-side vs. server-side validation

Question

Which is better to do client side or server side validation?

In our situation we are using

• jQuery and MVC.
• JSON data to pass between our Vi

Answer 1

I came across an interesting link that make a distinction between gross, systematic, random errors.

Client-Side validation suits perfectly for preventing gross and random errors. Typically a max length for texture and input. Do not mimic the server-side validation rule; provide your own gross, rule of thumb validation rule (ex. 200 characters on client-side; n on server-side dictated by a strong business rule).

Server-side validation suits perfectly for preventing systematic errors; it will enforce business rules.

In a project I'm involved in, the validation is done on the server through ajax requests. On the client I display error messages accordingly.
