    im currently building a store and am in need of a way to calculate shipping for USPS (United States Postal Service).

    I dont really care if the script is client side or server side. Any suggestions would be great.

    If you want to send me a specification I'd be happy to see what I could do.
    The maths shouldn't be a problem but what do you want to do with it?
    I would suggest that you use client side, unless you are using any private values that you don't want to expose.
    BWB, I am very experienced with Javascript and I've had a lot of practice putting together dynamic and DOM based sites.

    You should. Actually, it should do both. It should happen w/o javascript (on the server), and be really slick (i.e. automatic and intuitive) for users with javascript on.

    Ha! As opposed to sites that aren't DOM-based? Maybe ChOM, the Chocolate Object Model?

    I don't suppose you've actually ever heard of the BOM.
    Smart arse.

    Well, if anyone has ever built a BOM-based Web site, I'd love to see it
