Hey,
I want to create a form of shopping cart functionality like the http://icondock.com website has. So a user can either click on an item to add it to the cart, or drag it in.
However I don’t actually need any of the checkout and payment functionality. Just the dragging & dropping / clicking to add functionality.
I wanted to ask peoples’ opinions on the easiest way for me to do this. My main problem at the moment is that I have never implemented Ajax into a customised sort of thing like this. I’ve only ever experienced it through lightbox plugins.
I don’t really know if the item you can click or drag to add has to be in an <input> form or as a <button>, or if it can simply be a hyperlink with some class that relates to some Javascript. I just don’t know what’s possible, or what would be best.
I’ve got a friend who can program the backend functionality of it with PHP, but he doesn’t know much about implementing Ajax so the page doesn’t have to refresh to display the changes. If anyone can link me to any useful tutorials or plugins, I’d really appreciate it.
FYI I can implement Javascript in the form of jQuery when it’s a sort of plugin and i have documentationt to work with, but there’s no way in hell I can code anything complex from scratch.
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
