texte = Does anybody have a GOOD example of a check-out page?After spending months getting a shopping site online, I am to the point of total exhaustion trying to get a decent purchase page up-and-running.I attempt to use the RequiredFields parameter for the ?purchase command, but most of the time is seems to be ignored, allowing people to check-out with NO information entered on the form!When I strip things down and finally get ?RequiredFields to work on a bare-bones check-out page, all it does it pop up with an ugly window that tells you stuff didn't get filled out! Not even a quick message telling the customer to press the back button on your browser and try again! And without some more trickery, they go back to find all of the information they DID fill out to be missing!It was hard enough to finish my site, but to be stopped by a procedure that should be fairly automated by WebCatalog is enormously frustrating! I am hopeful that some kind soul has an example that will show me the way! :)David Simmer II dave@libertyorchards.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
