[clug] javascript libraries/frameworks

The usual approach is to validate twice - once in the browser and again on
the server.  Twice the work for the programmer, but a nicer experience for
those who are prepared to use JS.

I've just had jQuery pointed out to me.  Looking good so far, but I have all
of three hours knowledge of it.

Cheers,
Neill
