How do I add items to the basket via AJAX (no page reload)

[dgeere]

Hey all, kind of says it all in the title. :)

I want users to view list of products
When they click on buy button it adds the item to the cart
But it does NOT reload the page, it just adds it and alerts them that it was done. :)

Any help would be magical :)

Anyone at all? :)

You can probably do even better with this: demos.mootools.net/Drag.Cart

I am thinking of coding an AJAX cart, but not sure that I will make it a downloadable mod, al least not in the foreseeable future. Looks like you are going to have to get your hands (very) dirty.

Thanks, have seen that, but I specifically want to keep the functionality as "click" "adds to cart". :)

The drag cart is nice, but not suitable for my new store.

Any help on submitting the "buy" click via ajax instead of by reloading the page would be helpful :)

Thanks for taking the time to reply though :)

Mootools has an ajax library, so you could probably use that. I cant promise it will be pretty though. (Actually I can promise it will be a royal pain in the ######)

Yeah, I have found a few sets of ajax library code, but not being a code makes it remarkably difficult for me to implement :) eheh

Perhaps someone can point me in the direction of someone that I can pay to help code this in? As I see it, its a forum submit that goes via ajax and that's it :)
