A simple JavaScript/XML cart
NOTE: This is a mock website and does not collect/store data; after all...it's just JavaScript :)
Welcome
Welcome to a simple JavaScript/XML shopping cart made by Dan. Product data is stored in a single XML file, which is referenced by the rest of the website's JavaScript code.
JavaScript makes the application pretty sweet since all of the processing is dependent on the user's computer; no need to worry about server resources. It also helps to make a smooth experience by providing instant feedback to users' actions in areas like the view cart and checkout pages.
Ultimately, it shouldn't be relied on since JavaScript can simply be disabled and cannot perform true form validation. However, portions of it could be incorporated into an existing server-side shopping cart to improve its interface and usability.
Compatibility
The cart works properly with the following browsers:
- Firefox 2+
- Safari 3+
- Note: cookies will not work if running off your file system (i.e. file:///Users/Dan/jscart/cart.htm)
- Internet Explorer 7
