Given the referenced question, this question is becomes basically, `why not just server-side validation?` – Bert F Dec 30 '10 at 12:39

My consideration: both.
client-side - more user-friendly (e.g can respond right after leaving the field, no full-page reload, quicker response since no roundtrip network request, etc)
server-side - because you shouldn't trust the client
The drawback is of course maintaining the rules in both places, especially if they are in different languages/frameworks.
