Changing Javascript Variable with Form

[Artellectual]

Hey Guys,

I’ve been working on a little something :)

I’ve been trying to use this shopping cart called simpleCart(js) its a javascript based shopping cart and I am stuck on just 1 thing. the shipping!

Anyway the variable that controls the flatrate shipping for the cart is

simpleCart.shippingFlatRate

however I want the user to have a choice, to choose what shipping they want. so here is my code for the form.

Code:

Mainland China – €5Greater China – €12Asia/Australia – €17North America – €20South America – €25Europe – €30Other – €45

I set it that when the user chooses an option it updates the variable and that is then passed into the flat shipping variable on the simpleCart(js) script however when I do this it always detect teh shipping as 0.00

Please help me out! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

So the solution for me was really simple, you have to add at the end of the onchange script the Simplecart function: simpleCart.update();

here is the script I made with lots of cut and paste from other places:

Code:

window.onload = initForm;
function initForm(){
document.getElementById(“shippingChoice”).selectedIndex = 0;
document.getElementById(“shippingChoice”).onchange = populateApplication;
}

function populateApplication(){
var edNum = document.getElementById(“shippingChoice”).selectedIndex;
var edValue = document.getElementById(“shippingChoice”).options[edNum].value;
simpleCart.shippingFlatRate = edValue;
simpleCart.update();
}

And here is the HTML:

Code:

Escoge una localidad…Chile – $5.00América Latina y Caribe – $10.00Estados Unidos y Canadá – $15.00Europa – $15.00Asia – $20.00Oceanía – $20.00

And the Paypal order worked fine…
