How can I use drop-down data in Frontpage inside the website?

Tony S.

I have volunteered my limited FrontPage skills to a non-profit company
(www.goldensharefoods.com) that wants to use a similar ordering system from
an affiliate company whose URL is:
(www.sharecolorado.com/index.cfm?action=order_online). They also want to
have customers order through PayPal at the end. I don’t know html code and
I’ve been hacking away on this for 4 1/2 days. Can anyone help me out? I’ve
made submit buttons that send data to the _private folder, but I’m lost as
far as how to retrieve that data back to use in the web page. I don’t even
know if this is possible.

For a data-driven site, try experimenting with the database tools in
Frontpage. www.frontpagewiz.com has a good tutorial on this.

I'm sure there's many other resources as well.

Otherwise you'd need to code a solution yourself or engage a programmer to
do it.

Also, if you plan on using PayPal, then visit their site www.paypal.com and
read up on their services. In many cases this is as simple as putting "buy
now" buttons on the page with a photo of the product, and the custom can
order whatever they like, and pay for it call through Paypal's shopping
cart, or you can host a shopping cart on your site, integrated with PP.

Paypal offers several levels of merchant tools/user accounts from "basic" to
"business" to "pro" - but you decide which you require.
