so, it turns out that even though isindex is depracated in favor of using inputs, there’s really no elegant way to do what isindex does with inputs – that is append a value (not a name-value pair) to the query string.

The Web is the Ultimate Copy Protection – basically about how web applications gain copy protection because they’re never installed on end-user machines. that’s good for the asp, of course the user’s up a creek if the asp goes out of business, or discontinues the product, or even worse stores your data and goes out of business. I’m not sure if there’s really any way around this. I suppose that one would have to make sure that the eula a user agrees to with the asp covers such eventualities.
