Relying on javascript for form validation

There is always loads to be said about why NOT to rely on javascript for validation but what’s better than an example.

Disable javascript on your browser and then go to http://www.geni.com/ and hit login, it will not only log you in but also say you have a 20% complete profile. The only saving grace is of-course it says the site requires flash and javascript!
