Yeah, that really looks good.  It doesn't look like any javascript; looks like they 
are using cold fusion.

I haven't figured out how to make frames on the fly without pre-creating my html 
files that I will insert. I think that can be done in javascript but netgrocer doesn't 
do this (or I didn't see it). I reckon they might just have a sort of temp table 
where data is entered and then periodically wiped clean. I did this same thing 
with a search engine once.

I think I will create a directory and create files in it for users. Each user must 
log on anyhow so I will write all the stuff he orders or doesn't order to that file.  
And then suddenly you have a history of who bought what when or who just 
thought to buy.

Jack, thanks for the pointer to netgrocer. I think they have a really good system 
there. Good use of frames.

Peter
