Setting up a shopping cart page

The shopping cart page lets customers see what they have ordered, change quantities, and see the updated total. Make sure the page has a table displaying placeholders for all the details of the order, including items ordered, amounts, unit prices, and totals. Make sure you use form text fields for the quantity sections of your cart so that the viewer can adjust the quantity ordered. The shopping cart page also needs a way to proceed to check out. Once you've designed the page, you need to enclose the table displaying the shopping cart contents in a form.

See the illustration for an example, or look at the cart.asp page included in the sample files (in the Dynamic Link\Examples\asp\adobe folder).

Finally, make the page dynamic using the Dynamic Link palette. You will set up content sources, activate forms and buttons later, after you have created all the pages. Next, set up a check out page.
