I imagine that HP Scrawlr is a bit pricey.
If JavaScript is required to enable the Submit button on an HTML form, is there a way to circumvent this?
I do have two layers of server side protection from SQL Injection as well.

I have used HP's scrawlr.

To prevent attacks, validate input in your forms (server-side, not just with
javascript) and make sure any querystring parameters are filtered or
validated with server-side code before they are passed to the database.

What are some open source utilities I can use to test a web page for SQL
Injection vulnerability (MySQL), and what coding practices can be
implemented to prevent the exploit?
