Form question

S

Shirley

Can someone tell me how to set up my form so that it will not empty the user
data after 'submit' is clicked?
It was suggested to hyperlink the dialogue box, click target button, and
choose new window....but, I'm not really sure where on the form to
'hyperlink' to the new window, and do I have to make a new page for this
'new window'?
Sorry that I posted the same problem again, but I have to figure this out to
get paid for a site I made.

Thanks for your help.

Forms are always cleared after the submit button has been click to avoid receiving duplicate emails.
This is important when working with order, as it would be possible to process an order twice.

What is the reason that you client wants the data to remain in the form after it has been submitted?

She thinks they may want to continue shopping and return to the form to
order more.....I have my doubts that they will order more than one article,
but she thinks they might.
So, she wants to be able to keep the data available so they don't have to
fill out the form again.
She also thinks she needs a shopping cart, although I've been telling her
that since a link to PayPal will be on there that it is secure. And, if they
send a check for the order it will go to her home.
She is giving me ulcers :( She has paid me $100 so far with the balance
of $150 to be paid on completion of the site (before additional articles
will be added), and it has taken me days to re-work every change she wants
done. I have a feeling the main site will never be completed....hence the
ulcers.

LOL well, for her sake, let's hope they do!

wrote in message Paypal's the way to go for something small...and it keeps the shopping cart
open.

BUT at some point in the shoppers lifetime they're gonna have to "push the
BUY button betty!"

Shirley,

Since your client has a PayPal account, set up two forms:

Paying by check, in which case the user can not submit the form until they have added all of the
items they want to order, which is way the form needs to be open in a new windows.

Paying via PayPal, then use the PayPal Shopping Cart, where each item is added to PayPal. Here is an
example of using PayPal's shopping Cart:

in that case you need a shopping cart....which collects products, and tallies the
total then the user can click submit at the end when they're done - just like
exiting the supermarket going through the checkout/cashier exact same idea.
