Hi, and thanks.
Client: Company who makes gas-station car wash chemicals, and ads for gas
stations to display to drive customers to the wash.
Project: Create a one page order page for customers to order printed display
adds. No database backend ('cause it would cost more), no shopping cart, no
credit cards or on-line payment. An in-process mock-up can be seen at:

There is still MUCHO work to be done on this page, but for now I'm only
worried about one question: When a customer changes the quantity of any
given product, the price next to that quantity also changes. Then, at the
bottom of the page, a total is diaplayed. Again, keep in mind that this
must be contained on one page w/o a database.
My question is this: Would this functionality best be done client side with
java-script, or server side? Thoughts?
Many thanks,
Casey
