Thanks Anthony


I was never very happy about JS as a solution. There are not many with

direct experience so your words have put me write off :-)

We created a javascript client side shopping basket for the World Cup

in June.

Worked fine, was much quicker for the user, sold alot with it.

What we didn't have was a back up for those without javascript

enabled browsers so we got a lot of complaints. (doh!) (though many

thought it was their fault!)

And IE3 threw up its usual errors so we definitely lost sales.

Conclusion: write it properly, and with a cgi backup if you don't

want to lose sales, and if you're going to do the cgi thing then

maybe you're duplicating effort!?
