ShopSite Template Cookbook - Shopping Cart Form

Starting the Shopping Cart Form

[-- SC_JAVASCRIPT extras --] for JavaScript functions within the shopping cart
[-- ShopSiteMessages --] for error messages
[-- SC_Form --] produces the opening <form> tag with the necessary attributes

Begin by adding the opening <html> and closing </html> tags inside the [-- DEFINE ShoppingCart --] and [-- END_DEFINE ShoppingCart --] tags. Also, the shopping cart uses JavaScript for some functions, so you must include the [-- SC_JAVASCRIPT extras --] tag inside <script> tags in the <head> section of the template.
[-- DEFINE ShoppingCart --] <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">  </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> [-- END_DEFINE ShoppingCart --]

The shopping cart is an HTML form. You must include the [-- SC_Form --] tag -- which produces the opening <form> tag with the necessary attributes -- near the top of the <body> section of the template, and you must put a </form> tag near the end.
[-- DEFINE ShoppingCart --] <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">  </script> </head> <body> [-- SC_Form --] </form> </body> </html> [-- END_DEFINE ShoppingCart --]

The [-- ShopSiteMessages --] tag will produce any error messages, such as telling the customer that they must select a shipping option. It will not produce anything if there are no errors or messages for the customer.
[-- DEFINE ShoppingCart --] <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">  </script> </head> <body> [-- ShopSiteMessages --] [-- SC_Form --] </form> </body> </html> [-- END_DEFINE ShoppingCart --]
