Abstract

A system and method for validating code on a client-side and on a server-side in a Web environment utilizes a single validation code to validate JavaScript code on a client-side and JavaScript code on a server-side of a computer network system. The single validation code can help to correct errors in the client code and ensure the integrity of data stored on the server.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for validating code on a client-side and on a server-side in a web environment, the method comprising:

providing a JavaScript code on a client-side;

providing a JavaScript code on a server-side; and

validating both the JavaScript code on the client-side and the JavaScript code on the server-side with a single validation code on the client-side and the server-side;

injected a proxy code into the JavaScript code on the client-side, the proxy code calling the single validation code on the server-side;

filtering code submitted from the client-side to the server-side;

validating the code that has been filtered; and

submitting the code that has been filtered to a second server-side software.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the second server-side software is implemented in JAVA, PHP, C#, PYTHON or RUBY programming language.

3. A web environment comprising:

a web-server comprising a web-server processor running a server-side JavaScript code; and

a single validation code on the client-side and the server-side, the single validation code validating the server-side JavaScript code and client-side JavaScript code included in a web browser running on a client processor;

a proxy code injected into the client-side JavaScript code, the proxy-code calling the single validation code on the server-side; and

a code on a client-side that is filtered and submitted to the server-side wherein the code is validated and submitted to a second server-side software.

4. The web environment according to claim 3 wherein the second server-side software is implemented in JAVA, PHP, C#, PYTHON or RUBY programming language.

5. A system for validating code on a client-side and on a server-side in a web environment, the system comprising:

a web-server comprising a web-server processor running a server-side JavaScript code for a HTML document;

a single validation code on the client-side and the server-side, the single validation code validating the server-side JavaScript code and client-side JavaScript code included in a web browser running on a client processor;

a proxy code injected into the client-side JavaScript code, the proxy-code calling the single validation code on the server-side; and

a code on a client-side that is filtered and submitted to the server-side wherein the code is validated and submitted to a second server-side software.

6. The system according to claim 5 wherein the a second server-side software is implemented in JAVA, PHP, C#, PYTHON or RUBY programming language.

7. The system according to claim 5 further comprising a network.

8. A system according to claim 5 further comprising

a JavaScript architecture in a Web-server.

9. A computer implemented method comprising:

injecting proxy code into a JavaScript code of an HTML document for on a client-side, the proxy code comprising code that makes a call to a validation code at a server-side;

providing to the client-side the HTML document comprising the proxy code that makes the call to the validation code at the server-side;

in response to the call, validating data input to the HTML document at the client-side with the validation code at the server-side;

after the validating data input to the HTML document, receiving a submission of the HTML document; and

validating the submission with the validation code at the server-side, wherein the validation code for the validating the submission is the same validation code for the validating data input to the HTML document at the client-side

filtering code submitted from the client-side to the server-side;

validating the code that has been filtered; and

submitting the code that has been filtered to a second server-side software.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the validation code for the validating the submission comprises logic, and the validation code for the validating the data input to the HTML document at the client-side comprises the same logic.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the validation code for the validating the submission is identical to the validation code for the validating the data input to the HTML document at the client-side.

12. The method of claim 9 wherein executing the validation code at the server-side throws an error when the data input to the HTML document at the client-side is invalid.

13. The method of claim 9 wherein the validation code comprises a <

script>

tag.
