Answer 1

You are doing only client-side validation. Turn off javascript in your browser, and click ‘submit’ on the form without doing anything else. You’ll get a blank email.

Client-side validation is only half the story. It’s nice, but consider it optional. As far as the server goes, anything coming in _POST _GET _COOKIE etc is hostile. Validate it (if you’re using client-side validation, then yes, you are validating it twice) and sanitize it and only then use it.
