Re: UKNM: shopping solutions

[James Bruce]

Hi Sean / Charlie


I had pretty much 'coffined' up JS as a vehicle for shopping but Sean's

comments on Intranets and IT depts banged in the final nail as far as I am

concerned. Charlie's point about speed and ease of implementation still

leaves a JS solution 'naked' and open to....'tomfoolery', nice once Charlie

;-)


I only asked because I noticed a rather large organisation (no names) using

JS for a shopping vehicle and wondered whether I had got my phobias /

paranoias placed correctly.


Thanks

Finally, if you want your shopping solution to be available within

intranets, bear in mind that there are some internal IT departments out

there with a very pre-perestroika view of user empowerment.  They may

disable javascript and cookies in the browsers they distribute internally.

Of course, clients can start faffing around with the client code if they

wish, but what damage can that do if your server script for the final

transaction is robust and prepared for tomfoolery?
