I was trying to avert a server call -- but it's probably not worth the
trouble. You're probably right, I was never getting this error with CF.

As a rule of thumb I never use _javascript_ for anything that is used in a
transaction, commerce calculation or query against a Database. I have
seen
way too many times where a client browser improperly runs the _javascript_
and
throws an error or returns a false result. You just cannot rely on the
client�s browser to work properly and it should never be used as part of
the
commerce calculation.
We usually keep the Product_ID and the purchase_Qty in session variables
then query the database to get the price and description at check out.
