From: AP on 31 Dec 2009 20:22 Is it advisable to build a business website (with users entering and retrieving private info and monetary Paypal-type transactions and the like) using JavaScript (in view of the fact that the code is totally visible to users) ? Are there any examples of business websites which are purely HTML/Javascript of do people normally use PHP or ASP.NET instead (as the code is hidden) ? Thanks, AP.

Depends on what you mean.

You definitely shouldn't process payments on the front-end. ;)

I'm sure it uses back-end scripting as well. And you can certainly do animation without Flash. ;)

The source code is only "totally visible to users" if the programming language is used client-side. Anyhow, you do want to validate financial transactions server-side, regardless of the programming language. > Are there any examples of business websites which > are purely HTML/Javascript of do people normally use PHP or ASP.NET > instead (as the code is hidden) ? Yes. > Thanks, AP. With as little clue as this, you should not be building any business website. <http://jibbering.com/faq/#posting> You are welcome.
