    Form help.

    Hi guys I'm new to this forum, it's good. Anyway I am not new to HTML but I am to forms. What I want is a form that will do two things... I need this to happen... I need after they make their choices on parts (this is for custom computers) for when they hit Buy Now! I wantan e-mail to be sent to me with their choices and the price. The second thing I want to happen is them to go to a buy page from paypal so the submit button is actually a buy button from paypal. One last thing is I want the price to go up when they pick a part..or down I want the price to acually changeat the bottom. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hiya, welcome to the forums.

    For the prices to change when people choose different items, you will need to use JavaScript, good intro here - http://www.w3schools.org/js

    For the email form you can use any server-side langauge to send the email to yourself. I recommend PHP as its the easiest to learn and opensource. Learn more about PHP here - http://www.php.net/

    What your planning is a reasonably ambitious project, best to give yourself a good grounding in the above disciplines before getting going.

    The paypal button is basically a form.

    this input device sets the price -

    Code:
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="12.99">
    You can change the value here dynamically using JavaScript, or write it out using PHP (recommended), so the above links apply.

    Well, using php you can track what they wish to purchase, and add it all up. Once thats added up, php can actually write the correct html for the total price.

    that way, the button always has the correct value.

    Yes, you can have text that changes / displays the total so far. Easily done with php or js.

    I do not know any sample code, but have a look at www.hotscripts.com
