I understand that.

But it would still be funny to see the amount of people putting in real data.

Indeed: they could use a bit of (strictly client-side) JavaScript to check if values that had the form of a valid number, date and so forth were present, then just send "doofus=1" or some such to the server.

The whole point of the site is that they do not collect the card data. All the submit button does is take you to the page telling you what you just did wrong. Click it with a blank form, it still works.

The point is that the form *could* easily have harvested your card information if you are the sort of person who blindly belives what they see on the screen.

Nice.

It would be interesting if they published statistics about how many people put in real data that would pass validation.

One to send to your more gullible friends and relations: they may finally learn something (although of course they may not).

Yes, it's safe - read the source (or use Firebug, or the WebKit web inspector on Safari and Chrome, or Opera's Dragonfly, or IE's developer tools) if you want to be sure (because I'm just some random bloke on the Internet telling you it's safe...)
