javascript might make things a lot simpler but it can never be relied upon.
on the other hand, if you check that the registration was successful, then you know
for certain that the transaction was not already submitted because if it were, then
the registration would have failed.
1. authorize payment with payment server
2. register domain name(s)
3. post transaction to the payment server
this flow of logic will also alleviate any potential for charging someone for a domain
name that, for any reason, was not registered.
if you want a cutesy javascript message also then go right ahead -- it should be
pretty simple, but i would also do the check in perl just to be completely sure about
it rather than being content to overcharge people because they did not have javascript
enabled.
you might not see this as a problem until the people from technical support want to
see your head on a stick.
