can I simulate a paypal button

2006-04-08 01:52:07 PM
Hi,
I'v created a site for client, with several pages of products for
sale, we're not using any Online payment method yet -so in the
meantime, I'v just provided an Order Form, to be completed, printed
then mailed off with payment....
what I would really like to do, to improve this greatly - would be to
simulate what a paypal "add to cart" button would do - which is click
to add an item, and it places that item in a window in a separate page~
just as paypal does, and so on as they click on any other product to
buy, this would then give them an order form - but just containing the
items they want to buy - instead of the present order form which has
all products from that catagory, but obviously has the ones wanted
marked.
Is there any way to do this? and for someone very new to javascript-
easy to implement ?
many thanks,
Stu'

A google search turned up a free js shopping cart here:
www.nopdesign.com/freecart/
and others that may not be free:
www.javascriptcart.com/
and a how-to here:
www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3471331
and a tutorial there:
htmlfixit.com/contribs/JS-shopping.html
Your search may turn up better sites -
I don't know the quality of any of these, so you can decide after reading
them.

this all looks very promising, I'll read through each one of these and
see if -- well... :) see which one I understand the best, and feel I
can implement on the site... many thanks.
