Order page with agree to terms box

how to do question

[stephen]

We have shop cart 5.0

Currently it does not have a built in script
option to require the customer to check a
box stating that they agree with your posted
terms...

We are looking for a perl script that will do this
and leave that box on the order page, and show
it checked...

and of course kicking you back if you do not
agree.

Any help appreciated.

For those of you who may not know. You can dispute a charge back from a credit card company. But a savvy customer can charge it back a second time, and the credit card companies we have found, charge it back with no recourse the second time because you do not have a box on your order form that the customer has to physically check. If you can point us in a direction, it will be appreciated.

My advice to you is, put a check box on the order form page, right by the Submit button (which should be replaced for a standard button, pointing to a JavaScript function when clicked).

It should, by default, not be checked.

When the user submits the form, use a JavaScript to check whether the box was checked or not. If not, the page won't be submitted, and the user will be notified (by an alert box for example) that he/she needs to agree to the terms before ordering.

Also, in the Perl script, have a function that checks whether the box was checked or not. If not, just produce an error page. This is only necessary to protect you against anyone who would try to place an order using his/her own form.

Do you know how to write the JavaScript and Perl code?
