I sure hope this is your site and you didn't get paid to write it.

Why would you allow the customer to change the price for an item? Why would you put the price of an item in a hidden field?

Is this site live yet? I'd love to hack myself some amazing deals.

I was just browsing the footwear section. I would put the shoe sizes in a dropdown menu. Letting someone type it in will lead to a headache.

Is the site that bad? I just made it for a friend.

Thank you for your advices Tom, hope you keep on being perfect forever.

Peace & Love.

I think the site works pretty well actually. Look and feel are pretty good. We were just posting some constructive criticism.

That is the hardest thing to do as the lead developer. Accept comments, good or bad. I know I don't like the bad ones!

The comments I made are justified. Really...why do you allow the user to change the price?

Second, it is a VERY common for sites that store the prices in hidden fields to be hacked by simply saving the HTML and modifying the prices and post to go to the correct place. These are the steps I took to verify that you had a potentially serious problem.

The reason for computers is to make tasks easier. If you keep your functionality as-is, you will be causing work because you will need to verify that all the prices are as they should be with -every- order.

Here's a Slashdot.org article on this very hack. Please excuse my perfection.

I like the look and fell to but I think you need to spend some time 'being the user'
Some of your dropdowns only have one value and some of the product info soeøn't have the same uniformity as others.
But overall, nice first draft.

Thanks Tom, is just that I spent too many hours on this project, I´ve seen some of your work and I am impressed, will I be able to do something like this in the future?

I will surely take care of these issues.

Thank you.
