Informationbox,how?

[dutchie]

Hi all,


I have a question, it might be better as a say that I’m really sitting with my ‘hands in my hair’ for it ?

I wish like to create a ‘client’ side information box, and adding that to each of my products.

With this ’information’ box I would like to provide the customer, an informative overview of the;
· price of the article as shown
· price of the options that the customer has chosen
· total price (price article + options)

And as I mentioned already ‘ al it has to do is to keep the customer informed about the prices, before they go to the ‘check-out’.

Now my question. Is it possible to achieve that with “Tabular Data Control”?
If so, how? And for sure, I don’t aspect a fully written script, but just some hints (basis rules, an example) to get on the track with it. (important is to mention that the options have ‘floatable’ values)
If not, can I get some hints, to get it done on another way.
I’ve tried ‘with my little knowledge, to get it done with “javascript”, but so far without any success.

Beforehands , thanks for any help.

Well... As far as I could see on variuos sites that type of "information box" is made using a server-side application on a data base...

Hm... You may try in javascript using cookies... I can not see other way...

Or maybe make that information box as a parent and the rest of the pages as frames, or better as iframes, to make possible the change of data between pages... (you can acces a code back and forth and change values from parent-frame frame-parent)

I've made for u a simple example of "information box". I hope that this kinda is what you may need. See the attachment

navigate ITEM1 ITEM2 and, when navigate, infobox will show you what are you looking for and it's price. If decided to put it in the basket, the operation is shown in the info. You may add, or repeat. I have not made a substraction, or number of item, but that will be piece of cake from now on, as you said only to see the general ideea.

Although, it wasn't exactly what is was looking for 'what is understandable, because my thread was summier too. I still want to say thanks for the given help.

About the informationbox itself, therefore i've found a very nice script at "www.intranetjournal.com " , and it's called 'cost estimator'.

With greatings,
