Editing Shared Border HTML Using Yahoo! View Cart Tags

[a2zfit]

Hello and let me say thank you in advance to anyone who tries to help me.
I'm relatively new to FrontPage. I've created my site, a2zfit.com, which is
online for testing purposes. Yahoo! Merchant Solutions is hosting my site,
as well as providing the online shopping cart. Yahoo! gave me a "view cart
tag" which I've added HTML code to so that it's now a "view order button" on
my site. The button is at the bottom of my main page, just above the
copright notice. The HTML code that makes it work is:
<p align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<form method="post" action="<!--#ystore_cart -->"><p align="center">
<input type="submit" value="View Order"</form>
My problem is I'd like to have that same button in my left shared borders,
but just copying the above text and inserting it as HTML code in the left
border does not work. The button will show up in my left border but it never
connects to Yahoo! to view the existing order. I don't know why and I'm sure
it's due to my lack of HTML knowledge. Can someone offer me a little
assistance?

Thanks again!

Vince

You didn't mention which version of FrontPage you are
using, but here goes.
In FrontPage 2003, first copy to the clipboard all of your
script. Choose Web Component from the Insert drop down
menu. Under Component type, scroll to and click on Advanced
Controls. Under Choose a control, click on HTML and click
on Finish. Now paste the contents of the clipboard in the
dialog box. Close. A funny little link box will show on the
page. If you later choose to revise the script, just double
click on the link box.

Or just open the shared border page (left.htm in _borders folder) in Html/Code view and paste it there
- Tools Site Settings Advanced - show hidden folders to see the _borders folder

Thank you Chuck! I use Front Page 2002. Your info was helpful to a point.
I was able to create the view order button very easily with your method,
which will help for the future, but the View Order Button reacted in the same
way as buttons I created in the past (by opening the left shared border and
inputting script into HTML mode). The script is the same as what I put into
the content area of my page (no problems with that), but the new script
caused my order cart to work improperly (i.e. items placed in the order
basket did not display when the new View Order Button was selected).
Possibly having 2 view order buttons on a page can cause them to work against
each other, thus the malfunction! Can that happen?

 

[a2zfit]

Thank you Stefan! Before your reply I did open the left shared border in
order to update the HTML code. As with Chuck's method the View Order button
in the left shared border was created, but it did not work the same as the
view order button in my content area (which I had no problems with). Any
more thoughts?

Yes
- make sure the form names are unique, or delete one of them

Yes

-- I have several items in my drop down menu and want to link each item to a page. How do I do that

Hello Bettejane!

For my site I use a Drop Down Jump feature of a JBots add-in. The feature
allows you to:
1. designate a category name for the drop down (i.e. WIDGETS)
2. list the names of the drop downs that you want to appear (i.e. Widget1,
Widget2, Widget3, etc.) and
3. associate a seperate URL link to all of the drop down names (i.e.
Widget1.htm, Widget2.htm, Widget3.htm, etc.).

In otherwords, when a user clicks on the drop down category heading, choices
will appear for them, which when selected will take the user to the
particular site page that was chosen.

Please let me know if more info is needed. Also, you may want to check out
my website to see if the drop downs work like you want them to.

Regards,

Vince
