Don't 100% rely on client-side scripting for important restrictions & data verification. It's nice to have it on the client side to catch any mistakes before the data is sent -- but make sure you check the data when it gets to the server as well. People can bypass any type of javascript & validation on their end.
You bet ya. All I use JS for is pretty things or... to tell someone they have an error. It all must be checked again on the server. I'd hate to think of a world where all validation was done on the client.

Hmmm... Ahh... I think i'll be an admin today (tells the client to the server)
