Hi, I am trying to figure out how to add buttons or hyperlinks (right now they are hyperlinks) on different pages of my site. They should function so that they act like a shopping cart. I guess they need to set a cookie so that when visitor "checks out", all selections will be input to text field on a email form. Can you explain how I can accomplish this idea?

I have a few parts of my web site that change frequently, like my navigation bar, and then I have to edit each page. Is there a way that I can call some code to all pages from one page?

Please help me!

Shopping Cart: This is not an html issue. You need shopping cart software to do what you're describing. Paypal has some free tools, including a shopping cart. They're under Merchant Services at Paypal.

As for making changes to multiple pages, doing so is much easier if you make Templates. Most web design software has this feature whereby you make a template, then make pages from the template... then when you want to change something minor, you just change it on the template then "apply" it to all pages that were made from the template.

What software are you using to make your web pages?

Thanks man! I had already found the pay pal stuff. As for prgram: Dreamweaver 8. Can't figure out how to make template. Tried Iframes, don't like them.

Good choice on software. I use DW8 too.

DW has good instructions for making a template and assigning it "editable regions"... just click Help > Using Dreamweaver, then click the Search Tab and enter Templates in the search field.
