Calculating before cart.

Giving customers instant quote

[afrodite2]

I have an instant quote page where potential customers can choose from a series of options for their product which affect the price. When they hit the 'instant quote' button it takes them to the cart where the total is displayed. <snip>

This is the problem. I would love to show the total without having to go the cart. Then, if they want to proceed with the purchase they can be taken to a page where they can fill in the other options such as measurements which do not affect the price.

Does anybody know how I can achieve this? Is there is some php coding which will do the calculation for me and return the total? Can this be done within HTML?

Any suggestions very gratefully accepted.

well, anything is possible. I would presume a little HTML and javascript would do the trick.

Imagine it would be simple.

Thanks. Do you have any advice where I might find advice about how to do this?
