Blank Form Response

Occasionally, on one of my sites, I get completely blank form responses.

On the page, I have some required fields, so there's no way that blank fields are getting through
In addition, I run occasional tests which all come out OK, so I'm not sure why blank forms are getting sent.

Can anyone offer a reason ?

Both posts above offer good advice.

As a rule I always use server side validation.

How are you requiring fields? As Dan noted, if you're using javascript that can be disabled. If you're using hidden form fields with names like "myfield_required", it's possible that someone is submitting data to your program without using your form. The only way to be certain that required form data is being submitted is to test for it within your program. If someone submits a blank form, don't process it.

cfform uses javascript and the user has the option of disabling it.
