Hi all

i am trying to enhance my extended info page.

i have added the add to cart button but it does not work on that page.

that is the main page in which it works fine:

that is the extended info in which it does not work

There's no FORM containing the product (and its hidden parameters) on that popup page.

Just putting the NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON isn't enough.

You need some quite tricky JavaScript to collect that info from the calling page.

I have posted some Donationware code that demonstrates this on www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff - it is designed to operate on a Popup page.

You are opening the popup in the same page so it would need some changes to collect the required information from a now closed preceding page. You might have to pass them as query string parameters.

To see what's going on look at the source of a normal product (everything from the <form...> to the </form> around said product. Then look at the Extended Info page and you'll see what's missing.

Another tack to take would be to investigate Actinic V8. This has an Add to Cart on the popup page as a built-in option.

Add to Cart on the popup page

Pls can you point me to any help on this: "This has an Add to Cart on the popup page as a built-in option." I've searched Help, the AUG and the scanned the dialogs ... but not spotted it; thanks.

the feature Norman describes is new to Version8.

This post in in V7 - which version are you using? If its V8 pop over to the v8 forum and search on extented info and addto cart to see where this has been discussed before
