Order Placement working. BUT, not always.  Seem that this is a potential ISSUE WITH STRIPE. Was recieving numerous errors TESTING STRIPE.  Their *test* server might be working intermittently, throwing an error whenever I was trying to place an order.  Errors resolved with no changes, for me and someone else simultaniously (sitting next to each other), leading us to believe that it was STRIPES test server.
Attempt to revert to coffeescript.
Try js version vs coffeescript which seems not to work.
Coffeescript one more time.
brett version of orders.js. commented and more likely to work.
coffee version. such crap that non of this works.  Seems to be Stripe's servers.
