Shopping Cart
Hi I just started a web design class and all I know how to do is make cheap html websites and link pages together.

My classmates and I have decided to make a store that sells shirts and sweaters. I was wondering if someone can help or tutor me on how I would go about picking the size and color of the t-shirt and then sending it to a shopping cart.

Please help I'm desperate.

see, first of all you need to decide the various attributes of the products you want to sell. then decide what information about the customer you want to store. design the database carefully after taking all the facts in mind. only then proceed to developing shopping cart. one more important thing, the language you are going to make the cart. you should have enough knowledge of the language you are gonna use.

I have used Oracle 9i before and sucessfully built a database with the forms loader. but how would I implement that for use within a web page? how would the data travel from my web page to the database?

Most developers overcome this with a glue language .e.g.

Here are typical examples.
HTML->PHP->MySql/or other
HTML->ASP->Microsoft SQL/or other
HTML->JSP->Oracle /or other
HTML->perl(cgi-bin)->MySql/or other

For a PHP/MySql example demo you can look at my signature and learn from there.

if # of products you're trying to sell is small, you can use a text file to store your product catalog. The challenge is to connect your shopping cart to some payment gateway to process order online. You can do this in any popular language, php, Java or etc.

Paypal has some simple tools for adding shopping abilities to your site, even if your site doesn't have php/perl. (or you don't know how to write in it)

I used them years ago on a similar project. But I never did sell much.

Here's one I helped a friend of mine setup. I'm supprised she still has it setup. It doesn't look like she's sold anything either. lol

Commision page

All the code resides on Paypal's servers. Just check the source on that page to see what we did.

<body>

<br>
<br>
<font color = silver><center><h3>Princess Coffee Mug 7.5 oz</h3></center></font>
<P align ="center"><img src ="C:\Documents and Settings\Hung Vuong\Desktop\mugs\1.jpg">

<form name="_xclick" target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="me@mybusiness.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Sweater">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="14.99">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

<table>

<form name="_xclick" target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="me@mybusiness.com">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/view_cart.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

</body>

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do I align the paypal
button to the right of the view cart towards the bottom.
