A am working on updating a site that was designed by someone that is far more knowledgable about ASP and site design than i will ever be. As of now, the site works great, but i’ve been wanting to make some changes.
For example: the product app page is called category.asp. This one page is capable of displaying all of our products, depending on the the ‘modifier’ (?) after it, which looks like ‘?ProductID=90’
Right now, each product has the word BUY after it, and clicking it adds that product to the shopping cart. What i wanted to do was to add check-boxes in place of each BUY word, and then have the BUY option at the bottom, so when it is clicked, it will add all of the items that were checked.
I have no idea how to change the functionality of this, so would anyone be willing to give me some hints as to how this could be done??
An example of the Product App page can be found here:
–
make your check boxes and give each one a unique name…at least something like box1, box1 etc…
there’s a processing script somewhere, it isn’t in the file you gave…i would need to see the file “shopcart.asp” it looks like it contains a select case statement… what you are wanting to do is very possible and ive done it before…but the key is in the shopcart.asp file.
Just an observation from my personal experience. Rewriting someone elses code, unless it contains very detailed comments, is often more difficult and time consuming that starting over from scratch.
hmmm. thats a good point. This code seems complicated to me, and im sure the best person to rewrite it or update it would be the person who designed the site. For some reason i thought that it wasn’t that difficult to make a few changes.
