All client-side controls only allow users to enter valid input via javascript code while the back-end code checks for the validity again. This is only to prevent double posting by users, and not to be relied on. Sebastian, I'm glad you've liked the post - I might add a new article about my new project soon. Thank you John, I forgot to mention that.

Sebastian, I’m glad you’ve liked the post – I might add a new article about my new project soon.

It was a very interesting read. Maybe in a second post you could share your experience regarding starting a project like this. I would be interested in knowing if it is/was a hobby project, how you started out and if you earn money or can cover your expenses. Sebastian Ron,

Problem solved. I want to follow up on this one point. Controls are in the user's browser and you have the ability to control them via JavaScript, however, you can never ever trust what is submitted from any user. It's not hard at all to turn off JavaScript or to circumvent any browser side protection you might have for invalid data. _Always_ check the user's submitted data on the server side if it is anything which could corrupt your data, cause an error, or possibly even allow for cross-site scripting. > Input check – In WG2 some inputs are numeric only and some
