RE: Best place to write validation

Hi Arpen,

When u write code in form it always run client tier, consuming more resources can reduce the speed of form. But in table level you can make your code run on server tier.

For more information please refer

Hi Arpen,

We have 2 reasons for writing code in table level rather on the form.

1. For code reusability. If you write code in table you no need to write repeated codes in each form for validation.

2. Performance issues.

RE: Best place to write validation

Use validate* method (such as validate() and validateField()) for validations. Prefer validation methods on tables to methods on the form itself. Which exact method you should use depends on your particular situation; there is no single best place for "any" validation.
