That's not a necessary problem with Javascript, just one with common idioms
for its use.  If the scripting is done as an onsubmit action, and returns
false on a validation error, you might just have problems with very early
Netscape's, but generally browsers with script on will abort the submission,
and those with scripting off will submit anyway and rely on the server side
validation, which must be present to defend against hacked pages, to 
catch the errors.

(I don't think very early Netscape's supported true/false returns from
events.)
