Needed help, adding cookies to a catalogue order form

indabin · Mar 2, 2001

Hi, I'm very new at JavaScript, I just can't get it right, not sure to what I'm do wrong, if any of you out there can help me, I'll appreciate it. All I need to do is have which ever items a user selects will then go onto the next page to have an order form printe out.

heres what I've written so far

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="JavaScript">

function additem(prd,wat,box)
{
var info
info = prd + ' watt: ' + wat + ' boxes: ' + box + '<br>';

var item = new Array(info);
var ino;
while (ino <= 99)
{
item[ino] = info + info
}
}

</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="itemsform">
<h3>Products</h3>
<P>
Tungsten Halogen<input type=hidden size=3 name="prd01" value="Bulb 01"><br>
watt <input type=text size=5 name="wat01" value="">
boxes: <input type=text size=3 name="box01" value="1">
<br>
<input type=button name="add01"
onClick="additem(document.itemsform.prd01.value,document.itemsform.wat01.value,document.itemsform.box01.value)" value="Add to Order">
</P>

<P>
Fluorescent Tube<input type=hidden size=3 name="prd02" value="Bulb 02"><br>
watt <input type=text size=5 name="wat02" value="">
boxes: <input type=text size=3 name="box02" value="1">
<br>
<input type=button name="add02"
onClick="additem(document.itemsform.prd02.value,document.itemsform.wat02.value,document.itemsform.box02.value)" value="Add to Order">
</p>

<P>
Candle Lamp<input type=hidden size=3 name="prd03" value="Bulb 03"><br>
watt <input type=text size=5 name="wat03" value="">
boxes: <input type=text size=3 name="box03" value="1">
<br>
<input type=button name="add03"
onClick="additem(document.itemsform.prd03.value,document.itemsform.wat03.value,document.itemsform.box03.value)" value="Add to Order">
</p>

<br>
<a href="orderform.html">Place An Order</a>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I changed something in your code, and put in an alert to show you what is stored in the var item.
To take these codes to another page is possible with an asp (active server page) and submit the item array to this asp.
To run asp you have to install pws (personal web server).

I think your code should look something like this:

<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="JavaScript">

var item = new Array();
var ino = 0;
function additem(prd,wat,box)
{
var info
info = prd + '? ? watt: ' + wat + ' boxes: ' + box + '<br>';

item[ino] = info + info
ino ++;
alert(item);
}

</script>
</head>
