well, before they started working on the site, I could at least get items into
my cart. Now, I use links (l i n k s) and choose "buy stams and more" then "buy
stamps" and here's the nice little message I get.
Before I get the message, I am asked if I want to allow the cookie; I press
enter on that choice but it doesn't do me any good.
I wrote Ray and told him this, also mentioned I still don't know why they are so
dedicated to using javascript. He hasn't ever explained why they want it so
badly, but it definitely appears that javascript is a non-negotiable item.
You do have to admit they give you plenty of istructions--if you are using
windows.
