You aren't seriously suggesting JavaScript onSubmit checking to prevent malicious data, are you? While onSubmit can prevent wasting time with empty or poorly filled out forms, it is quite easy for those with malicious intent to submit whatever they want and bypass JavaScript. There is no substitute for server end CGI safety and to say otherwise is to invite dangerous security holes.

PS. SInce your ad banner took away the back button to my search, I will not be visiting your site anymore, nor will I remotely consider "Sprinks" for anything. If they need cheesy manipulation to keep me on the site rather than relying on good content and products, goodbye.
