Need simple PHP help

[mespe]

I would like to add a pop-up when someone removes an item from the cart.
Also need the "do not show this pop-up again" check box for the session so as to not upset potential customers.

I plan on putting (in the pop-up)
some questions as to why they removed the item and a contact me button.

So I guess a line or two in shopping_cart.php should suffice.

http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_popup.asp (you'll be needing the 'Prompt Box').

The example given is as simple as it gets. When you get that working you can simply expand/enhance it to suit your needs.

The easiest way to not upset potential customers is not to use popups.

So needless to say I have no earthly idea where to put what in the code.

I would think something like this,,,

// display pop-up for item removal

I understand that, but I would like to know when someone puts something in their cart, then changes their mind about buying the item. I sell onzees twozees of pre-owned mercedes parts,some of the items for sale are NLA from mfr. Some vintage, etc.

You're doing it wrong.

I'm not coder enough to answer your question, but online buyers have become accustomed to placing items they think they may want in their carts as a reminder to themselves.I suspect you'll be very busy contacting people who remove items from their carts, to no obvious advantage. I'll also agree with swguy - popups of any kind are annoying.

Let's say I'm one of the visitors you contact. What would be the nature of our interaction?

Say you own a 1973 Mercedes 450SE and you are in need of the chrome rain gutter on the left side of the car. You find my website and see the price, why put it in the cart if you don't want it? Now if there is a problem with shipping costs ( say for instance I put that it weighs 100 lbs instead of 2 lbs) etc

As it stands, I have no idea what someone puts in their cart. If I knew this, I would know what kind of Mercedes they owned and will need parts for.
