There is no problem with Javascript as is as long as it as a valid alternative without javascript, but: - nothing appears once Javascript is disabled (though it should be possible with some hacking and fallback to static picture) - the counter has a positive impact on how many users will donate - privacy issue as mentionned by Holger A good trade-off could be a cgi-based version that generates a png on the website itself, according to the project page at flattr (or picture update at each website build). https://flattr.com/support/integrate Regards. -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
