OrderCheckout tag

Hello,

I am using Manager v6, is it possible to customize the html output from the
OrderCheckout tag? The default output doesn't offer the flexibility for
laying out the 'quantity' and other order options (such as 'size') that I
need. If not, could someone point me to a good script to use to populate my
drop down boxes with the order options?

Thx for any help,

Jeremy

The OrderCheckout tag returns the entire FORM that includes the ordering option
menus and Quantity box and order buttons. It is already formatted.

A Quantity box is something you can code into the template without using the
OrderCheckout tag as long as you create the proper FORM tags and elements and
name the Quantity field and values correctly.

As you already seem to know, you could use a CALL tag to pass the contents of
the ordering options fields to a script that could format it. I am not aware of
any scripts that have already been made to do this. In the next version a
separate tag will be added to return the ordering options as a pull-down, but
you would still need to surround it with your own FORM tags and all the other
form values that the OrderCheckout tag currently supplies.
