Sorry, you have just encountered the “learning cliff” of programming. I try to write these things as plainly as I can, and to a reader with a bit more experience than you, it does seem do-able (note the three people in the message thread who got it all working). I’ve been writing JavaScript since 1997 (shortly after it was invented) and my greatest difficulty now is trying to remember what it was like to be staring at it for the first time, so I can write clearly about it.
If you want to learn how to do this yourself (and you should, if you do this Web “design” thing for a living) then the only way to start learning is to start trying to do it. Download the example code, open it in a text editor (TextWrangler is free and very powerful, from the makers of BBEdit – the oldest continuously-developed application on the Macintosh). Read through it line by line, and ask yourself why that line is there. The lines that begin with // are comments, there to help you understand the program flow, and ignored by the computer. When you reach a line that you don’t understand, ask again here, and I (or another initiate) will explain. Repeat until you understand. This is a life-long process. I learn something new every day, at minimum.
If you want to get your cart to work, and your “real” job is selling things, not building Web sites, then consider hiring a developer to get this part working for you. There are many people on this mailing list (and countless others who are not) who can write this sort of thing in their sleep. Paying one of them to write this in a Freeway-friendly way (using Actions to hook up their hand-written code to your free-form designed page) will give you a quick path to completion, albeit without the long-term understanding that comes with learning to code, and a lighter wallet.
In the end, it is the old “give/teach a man a/to fish” saying. If you can make the case for investing the time to learn – even just the beginning basics of it – I guarantee that there will be a payoff in the end. Even if you don’t use this new skill every day, the understanding will give you new and longer levers to move your world. But if you don’t invest that time (or can’t, because you’re on a deadline) then I completely understand. That’s when you need to spend money to get an immediate result. Maybe you will learn how to do it yourself another day.
