Man, dontcha hate it when a client asks you to do something and you're
clueless? Maybe you guys can help:
Client hacked together an order form pointing to a new ecommerce service
they're considering using, and wants me to redo the order form to make it
look pretty.
The client's version of the form uses big ugly "Add to Your Shopping Cart"
images apparently installed by the ecommerce company's sign up process. He
wants me to remove the images and replace them with simple hypertext URLs
like those provided by Merchant Planet for their version of the order form
(which will run on a mirror site).
Here's the source from one area of the form they want redesigned:
<FORM action="http://www.cartserver.com/sc/cart.cgi" method=POST>
<INPUT type=image border=0 name=add src="rd-add.gif" width=154 height=46>
<INPUT type=hidden name=item value="a-3003^TLCDVDR^TLC DVD-ROM^45.00^1^5.50">
</FORM>
TLCDVDR... is one of the products, plus the $45 price and the $5.50 base
shipping cost.
rd-add.gif is the big ugly graphic he wants eliminated.
On the Merchant Planet version of the order form, there is no actual <form>
function. Each item simply has an Order Now hyperlink pointing to a cgi on
Merchant Planet. Here's sample of the source for the MerchantPlanet version
of the page:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#990000" size=2>
<b>DVD-ROM</b><br></FONT>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=-1><B>$45</B></font>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=-1>
plus shipping & handling. <BR>

HREF="https://www.merchantplanet.com/cgi-bin/checkout"><nobr>Check out

</FONT>
Any ideas on how to replace the image input area in the first version with
a hypertext link like that in the second version?
