Convenience. For example, being able to click submit and then have their browser popup an alert "Foo is a required field! Please fill it in before resubmitting!", scroll to put that field on screen, and highlight it all within microseconds saves time and provides a much better experience for users then waiting for the form data to be sent to the server and a server generated response to be sent back. The end result is the same (The user gets told that they need to fill in foo), but scripting does so in a way that most users will find more convenient. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
