Pop-up messages

[silken]

Hi,
I have a general and specific question about pop-up messages in shopsite.

I order from a book site and, when I hit the 'order' button I immediately get a pop up that tells me that the item has been added to my shopping cart. It is a beautiful thing. Is this possible in shopcart? I use the 'order anywhere' buttons, so I assume I would/could add code to the button description?

And, in general, if I wanted to have a pop-up message appear when hovering over something in the shopping cart itself, is this possible? If so, is it reasonable to ask how one might accomplish this (or, where I can find the info in the shopsite references?)

Thanks in advance,
Debbie

Debbie,

These questions are really not ShopSite questions, they are site build questions.

I also use the order anywhere. I like to build the page the way I want, not use a template. The way I handle such matters is to have javascript submit the order instead of the button submitting the order. I have the button call a javascript function that can do whatever I want. I use this to check for odd requirements I may have and can have pop up warn the customer of errors. I set a Boolean that says something like this:

Code: Select all

var myBoolean = no;

If the customer order meets my requirements I add:

Code: Select all

myBoolean = yes;

and then add

Code: Select all

if (myBoolean == yes)
{form.submit;}
else
{
alert("You had an error.");
return false;
}

I hope this helps.
