    pass cart total to custom form

    From my order 01 page...(the page where they fillin their address etc)...i have button which links to another page with a form in it.....they fill out the form then submit it to us.

    what i need is to pass their order total from the page where they fillin their address details to a pre-named input field in my form page.

    is this simple?

    JavaScript might do this. Add an id="gtotal" taglet to the existing grand total fields surrounding SPAN or DIV. Then in your new page use some JavaScript

    <input name="mytotal" id="mytotal" type="hidden">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    document.getElementById('mytotal').value = opener.document.getElementById('gtotal').innerHTML;
    // -->
    </script>

    Another way would be to look in the Actinic cookie for the stored total (using getCartItem(1) ) but you'd need to load actiniccore.js and actinicextras.js into that page for these routines to work and the page would have to come from the same domain as the Actinıc site..

      Hi Norman, thx for the reply, the only thing im not sure about is that the order total is generated by a netquotevar in the Act_shoppingCart.xml file

      so where would i apply this taglet to?

      thx in advance

        Act_ShoppingCartXML.html is the template to add the Javascript into, as this is the only template that displays the shopping cart. NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL is the variable you need.

        It won't do any harm that this template will be used on all cart/checkout pages - as you can just add Norman's code into Act_Order01.html - just underneath where it says NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERDETAILS

          Hi Chris, the thing i was puzzled about was that the grand total field is generated from the NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL as there is no physical tag to apply the I.D to where does the id="gtotal" get applied to..norman suggested using a taglet.
          would that just be <taglet id="gtotal">NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL</taglet> along with the script

          then put the hidden input in my custom form?

            Try replacing NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL with
            <div id="gtotal">NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL</div>

            and change the JavaScript to be

            Code:
            <input name="mytotal" id="mytotal" type="hidden">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.getElementById('mytotal').value = opener.document.getElementById('gtotal').innerHTML;
// -->
</script>
            You may need some additional JavaScript to remove currency symbols, commas, etc from this price.

            You may find it useful to change the type="hidden" to type="text" for debugging as this will let you see what's happening.

              No idea I'm afraid. I don't thing 'taglet' is a valid HTML tag - I think it's just an expression.

              Norman - if you're about - could you clarify how the id="gtotal" would be added around NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL?

                  I just tested this and it works OK.

                  In Act_ShoppingCartXML.html I replaced

                  NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL

                  with

                  <div id="gtotal">NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL</div>

                  And in ActOrder01.html I added

                  <a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('TotalTest.html',500,500)">TOTAL TEST</a>

                  and made the small file TotalTest.html (which I added to Advanced / Additional Files) containing
                  Code:
                  <html>
<head>
<title>Popup Total Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Popup Total Test</h1>

<input name="mytotal" id="mytotal" type="text">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.getElementById('mytotal').value = opener.document.getElementById('gtotal').innerHTML;
// -->
</script>
</body>
</html>
                  And it displays
                  Popup Total Test

                    My order 01 page has an input button which changes the parent llocation to my form page....it doesnt open in a popup window.

                    so i tried taking off the opener....which i am guessing means for the popup window....i dont get any errors....but i just end up with an empty input field in my form page.....
