It's in a SEARCH context, so I utilize the FOUNDITEMS loop function to call up the SKU and TITLE fields. I put the items inside a form, and put a checkbox next to each item so that the code looks:

The customer will check off whatever they want to order and hit the submit button to go to the Cart.html page.At the top of the CART.html page (befor the tag), I put the following code:[FORMVARIABLES name=ORD&exact=F] [ADDLINEITEM CART=[CART]&SKU=[VALUE]&db=MYDB.db]quantity=1[/ADDLINEITEM] [/FORMVARIABLES]The [FORMVARIABLES] loop goes through all of the submitted arguments that start with ORD (which is all of the items that the customer wants to buy) and adds them to the shopping cart using the ADDLINEITEM context.Then I display the content of the cart in the of the template, with options to edit quantity, etc.MichaelMichael Winston *By Phone!: (503)/652/8815 x341 Internet Coordinator *By e-mail!: michaelw@dhorse.com Dark Horse Comics, Inc. *By web!: http://www.dhorse.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
