Ok, cheers chaps Will have a gander through tutorials, then have a pop at this

I have a fair idea of CSS and HTML, just not much experience of PHP and Javascript, although have doen Java, so have some basics

I'm going to sound really daft, but I'm not too good with this web design lark (doing the site as a favour). What code can I use to display the total on the customise page? Then do I pass this to the confirmation page? Cheers

Sorry, what I emant was the price I would charge for the new component, which would be the price of it minus the price of the existing component. Eg standard graphics card is £100, new one is £175, the price displayed would be +£75 I'll probably be adding each dropdown list manually, if that makes any difference?

Sounds good, will get a move on after my last exam My thoughts are to have the price difference displayed in the dropdownm although I don't know how to draw it from here..

Cheers chaps If possible I'm going to try and create it myself, although I may well end up using a pre-buitl cart as above. At least by doing it DIY it will help me improve my skills (i'm a Computer Science student by day) so it can't hurt Once again, your responses are very greatfully recieved Ps. I see your an ATC man also Dan, nice one *edit - having looked more closely at magneto, I'll be installing it on a test area I have to see if I can do what I want, and see if I can create a theme for it The way the item is ordered is not massively important, all I need to be able to do is check the prices as I buy each part as a PC is ordered, so it may be that it goes down in cost, or indeed up

Hi guys (and girls), I have a bit of a problem, and would massively appreciate any help or guidance you can provide I'm in the process of developing a website which is for a small buisness building and selling custom computers. They also sell a range of pre-designed systems which need to be customisable on the site. Each system has an order button, and a customise button. The order button takes the customer to a confirmation page where they are shown the full specification of the system, and they can choose to order it, or customise it. The customise buttons on both pages will take them to the same page to customise the system. Each system will have a customise page, which has dropdown boxes for each individual component they may wish to change. The plan is for each dropdown to have its' option value as a component id number. Each component will be in a MySQL database table. The table will have 3 fields - Product ID, Description and Price. What I would like is for the bottom of the customise page to have a running total, which will be the price for the database minus the basic price, so just the difference in prices. Is this possible? as the dropdowns won't be drawn from the database, however my thoughts where that the cost function could lookup in the database for each product code selected. Now I come to the confirm order page. I would like to be able to display all of the original options for the computer unless any have been modified in the customise page, in which case the new item description will have to be taken from the database, and replace the old item description. There will be a seperate order page for each system, and when the order button is submitted, an e-mail will be sent to the sales team who will create an invoice, check the latest prices etc and work out a shipping cost. Does the above sound reasonable and possible? If anyone is able to provide any hints, tips, or code to hekp acheive this, it would be very welcome. I hope I have explained this clearly, but any questions, please, do ask Harry

James. On the first site, when I clicked the link at the top of your post I could edit it, and have done, only to say I shouldn't be able to do this. Needs dealing with, otherwise opens you to attack...
