You still need to do validation on the server anyway, so now you're 
maintaining two code bases.

Then, if the user has Java'sCrap turned off or not present, are they even
able to submit your form.  I've seen plenty of forms that won't.

But they all fall flat on their face when JS is off/unavailable, making 
your site unusable.
