You should never rely on client-side validation. Always validate on the server. Client-side validation is only to be nice to the user.

ok well, then what is the use of javascript?
so you mean ther is no importance of javascript

if we are not using javascript in client side validation then where actually is used ?

What Bear Bibeault is trying to say is that "You should never reply on client-side validation". Means you should have server site validation aslo along with the client side validation.

In other words, you can use JavaScript for whatever you want on the client, but do not make it so that the server side of the application (the JSP or Servlet) depends on whatever the JavaScript may do.

What Bear Bibeault is trying to say is correct, always you cannot depends on client side validation using javascript. You can do client side validation, and also you need server side validation.

If you only depends on javascript validation, it may fail in the penetration test(Man Middle attack)

Exactly. Client-side validation is great for giving the user immediate feedback, but you cannot depend upon it to validate your data or to provide security,
