Never trust client side processing. And its CPU that is on the client side 
that you could use. Client side is nice just to increase the likelyhood 
of data benig correct, but you sould *always* validate on server side.

Take a look at www.james.rcpt.to/programs/ecommerce/safeforms.html for 
a way of verifying form data and submit-once situations (such 
as payment processing, where you don't want to change the client twice).
