Tim,

To your post
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-510#action_12458496

I would want to see it degrade.  The fact that SVN
OFBiz does not degrade should not be support to
introduce more code that follows a poor pattern.  The
current state of OFBiz not being able to add to cart
when JS is turned off needs to be reported as a bug
and fixed.  

Wanting to see this degrade should especially be true
for a functionality of "Anonymous" checkout.  This
means you're wanting to sell product to random people.
 So, if you're wanting to sell to random people, you
would want to lower the barriers as far as possible
for them to use your site.  Good web surfing practice
is to white list JS for sites that you trust.  This is
especially true in  corporate environments.  

So to summarize, my two cents would be to report the
add to cart bug to JIRA, fix OFBiz's SVN of this
pattern and degrade the JS in the anonymous checkout
patch.  But to quickly see this kind of functionality
into OFBiz, I would prefer to see it added to a
sandbox so that others could help work out these
peculiarities.
