It never crossed my mind that anybody could want to just do server side validation of e-mail addresses. Client side validation is important to prevent multiple form submissions until fields are valid. If you give me a good reason for just wanting server side e-mail validation, I might add some option to do so. Meanwhile you may want to check the ValidationServerFunction option to supply your own form input validation function that only work on the server side. >Still, I don't know why these AddInput arguments are not mentioned in >forms.html docs, and if they at all are expected to work the way I forced >Manuel's form class to act. Because they are not quite arguments but rather flags that I need to set to figure if client side validation is needed in any of the form inputs.
