Simple Shopping Cart (No Prices, Just Text)

[matts02]

I would like to create a script similar to a shopping cart, but much less complicated. I want to allow the internet user to click on an image and have the name of an item that corresponds to the image be place in a shopping basket (no prices, just a two or three word name). Then have another image which only appears when there are items in the shopping basket. Finally a separate web page needs to retrieve the contents (text) of the basket and make it visible on an order form which ultimately gets sent. I need this to be explained in some detail because I am fairly new to using scripts.

First of all, what programming language do you want to do it in? If you haven't decided, ASP and PHP are good choices.

Any code that would work on all computers is my preference. I know some java script, so with any other language I would need a detailed explanation of what to do...

Well, first of all, i don't think that it would be a very good idea to make it in javascript, but ASP would be a great choice. If you have no idea or knowledge of ASP, i would recommend learning a little about it before you start working with a large application like a shopping cart.

Here are some of the best websites that i have found for ASP that may get you started:
