First, anyone can find a generator for those 15 digits codes.... it is just based on an algorythim.
Second, I do not think I want to take crdit card numbers on my site without a SECURE page.
Third, so many surfers have been screwed over by the "just enter your CC in for verification, YOU WILL NOT BE BILLED scam" that surfer just moves on.

1. They are not all 15 digit codes and someone would have to examine the javacode pretty careful to see what point I am stopping the calculation and passing the results to the server... If they do that, then I can prove that they made a concerted effort to go around the system and I am in the clear...
2. I would rather have it secure also, but it is not worth the time, effort or expense for an experiment at this time.
3. Thats the one that everyone has to deal with... Getting them to put the number into the box... Which is why I invite them to examine the code (for what it's worth) to see exactly what is going on....
Anyway, it is an attempt to put free stuff behind some kind of protection... I would hope that any kind of attempt to come up with something legal and workable would be viewed as a positive.......
