Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a number of autocomplete list
on a couple forms and wondering if there are better way to
validating this form  Because some of fields have 1000 rows of
data we need to use autocomplete not just selection list. The
problem is not only user can select from the autocomplete list
but they can enter manually without selecting from the
autocomplete list. Because of this I need to validate the data
on submit synchronously to make sure all fields are valid. But
since I have to check the fields synchronously it takes more
time. I am not sure this is correct way to do it. Or should I
just depend on the server side to give me back the error
instead? We are developing restful web app with backbone on the
front end and .net as server side.  share|improve this question
