Re: noscript and validation

I  would think it would be easier to do this:

<.script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><.!--
document.write("<.a href='javascript: goOrder()'>order<\/a>")
.//-->
</script>
<.noscript>
<.a href="https://order.shtml?referrer=noscript">order</a>
</noscript>

- and that should solve the validation problem too.

Donna
