[Pro] Mals ecommerce FP form

Need a little guidance.

I have set up a table on a freeway pro 5.5 site and assigned Mals-e buy form action(custom checkout button) to it. It also has e quantity assigned, this all works however my client wants to have graphic rollovers when clicked on add product variations for sizes and colors to the cart. I have looked through freeways knowledge base, manuals, freeway talk and mals-e site but unable to locate an answer how to do this.

In addition I am trying to understand how to assign a script to the Add to Cart button that would keep my visitor on the shopping page until the wish to checkout.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This example does that

This requires a setting change in your Mals account and some added code to your FW page.

If this is the sort of thing you want I can let you have an example page.

Dave,

thanks yes this is close but if you look at the jholie.com/shoptest.html you will see that I have 2 rollover colors (black and white circles) and 4 size circles that I want when clicked will add those selections to the order. Am I limited to radio buttons and check boxes or can these graphic rollovers record to the cart?

Thanks for your help. I’m a little lost when it comes to inserting the code but I want to learn.

You can control form inputs through JavaScript, as Dave has shown. Those inputs don’t have to be visible, though. There’s a type of input known as a “hidden” input, and as long as it is named correctly, and part of the same form as the rest of the Mals cart, it will do the job.

Another way to think about what you are doing here is as decoration to a form element. You might want to start by creating your form using the normal elements, then applying your decorative graphic elements as a secondary interface. Working this way, you avoid the trap of building a form that only sighted people can use.

Walt,

Thanks for the feedback. You guys are awesome. I will research hidden inputs. Are there any tutorials on this anywhere online.
I will also build a test using normal form elements.

Hey can I get a sample page how to do the java.

I’m still very novice when it comes to adding code to Freeway can you guys give met the method plain and simple?

Thanks for the guidance.

If you provide your email address I will send an example page

If you are posting your email here then use the format myname(at)mywebsite.com or the Web interface will obscure it.

Alternatively add your contact email to your FWT account page.

Or drop me a line - my email is available at the People Page.
