Can anyone help me with this script

HTML submit button

[chrisholgate]

Hi All,
I'm having a little bit of a problem with the POST action on my website and I know very little about HTML so I was hoping that someone out there could help me out.

Basically, the story goes as follows; I currently use the following script to post quantities of a product required from my website to Mals E-commerce shopping cart:

<form action="http server host goes here, blanked for Webmaster world" method="post">
<input size="4" name="qty1" value="1">
<input type="submit" name="SubmitBtn" value="Add to Cart">
<input type="hidden" value="64101274" name="userid">
<input type="hidden" value="Epson Stylus Colour 400/800/800+/1000 (S020025): Black Compatible Cartridge" name="product1">
<input type="hidden" value="2.89" name="price1">
</form>

Now the problem comes in the fact that I want to be able to offer price breaks if more than 6 items are ordered. The only way I have been able to do it is by having two submit buttons, one if the customer wishs to order less than 6 and one if they wish to order 6 or above.

Is there anyway that if "qty1"'s value is 6 or higher that I could then make

<input type="hidden" value="2.29" name="price1">

or a similar lower price to reflect that my customer is ordering 6 or more items?

Does this make sense to anybody? Any help you could give would be most apprechated.

Kind Regards

makes perfect sense.

There is a javascript way to do this.

Basically, don't use a "submit" button. Use a "button" button with an onClick to a javascript function, which will set the proper values for the form action.

If you need it written, someone might be able to dash it out for you.

Okay, many thanks for your help. If anybody happens to have some Javascript handy that could achieve this then please let me know but otherwise, not a problem, my web-designer said that he's give it a shot!

Kind Regards and thanks all.

<form name="orderform" action="scriptname" method="post">
<input size="4" name="qty1" value="1">
<input type="button" name="SubmitBtn" value="Add to Cart" onClick="javascript:checkit();">
<input type="hidden" value="64101274" name="userid">
<input type="hidden" value="Epson Stylus Colour 400/800/800+/1000 (S020025): Black Compatible Cartridge" name="product1">
<input type="hidden" value="2.89" name="price1">
</form>

function checkit () {
if (document.orderform.qty1.value > 6) {
document.orderform.price1.value = 2.29;
}
document.orderform.submit();
}

I think that would work.
