hi...

i've started customising the productpage.inc files in order to customise the shopping cart for our website. everything is starting to look good which is great!

but.... for whatever reason, i can't get the add to cart button on the initial productpage to work. i've tried modifying the code to no avail. the product page that this was based on is/was 1c if that helps. i've tried copying and pasting items from pages that do work but havent had much success......

i've pasted the code below...

anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!!!

if this is the entire code in the ppinc then the tables are messed up. when the table structure is unbalanced then critical information can be dropped by the browser. try this to see if it helps...

i'm not sure if this will lay out properly or at least the way you want it but the tables are balanced and the table tags are corrected. there is no "CELLPAD="0"" attribute that i am aware of. also you had "td" in the middle of a few <td> tags as well as a font tag in the <td> tag. things like no </td> or missing </tr> or <tr> tags will mess up stuff big time. also be aware that the beginning table tag is embedded in code as well as the </table> tag. this is why the ppinc must begin with <tr> and end with </tr>

hi... thanks for getting back to me so quickly.... using the new 'code' supplied i was able to get the add to cart button to work again which is great, thanks for that! however, i seem to have lost the 'check out' function on the page... the text is there but it is not an active link. am i missing something?

the cellpad reference was something i was trying in order to try and minimise the height of each of the rows but it didn't do anything. i've since realised that tr height is what i need, and can expand each row but cannot make them smaller in height.... do you have any suggestions for this?

i've put the code below...

======================================
note the code below....

<TD WIDTH="450">
<FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" font color="#ff0000">
<FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION = "%%scriptURL%%">
%%make_hidden_fields%%
<b>%%name%%</b>
<TD ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="250" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">
<A HREF="%%scripturl%%?cart_id=&p_id=%%ProductID%%&xm=on&ppinc=search2 "><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE="1"> Click Here for More Info</a> </FONT> </TD>

not sure how this intended to lay out but you either need to close the <td> tag after the
<FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION = "%%scriptURL%%">
%%make_hidden_fields%%
<b>%%name%%</b>

or close out the the <td> then do a </tr><tr> or nest the
<TD ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="250" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">
cell in a table
<table>
<tr>
<TD ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="250" VALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">
stuff here</td>
</tr>
</table>

the point being you cannot have a cell within a cell...
<td>
stuff here
<td>
more stuff here</td></td>
