Gift Box Option - Condition

**Aimee** · 09-22-2005 04:12 PM

I'm new to all this.
This is my brand new website and my web designer is no longer in the picture. I need to make modification to the gift option.

Currently, if someone clicks the Add a Gift Box button on my site, the charge is added to Paypal, with no message box option.

What I need is a gift box option on the sale page of each item.
If someone clicks yes, the gift message box will then be enable.
They can type in their message (with a 25 words limit).
And of coure the charge will be added to Paypal after all this.

This is what I came up with, but unforunately, it doesn't work. I know I need to add condition, but I have no idea how to do it. Please help!


<form name=”input” action = “html form action asp” method =”get”>
<img src=”<?php print (ICON); ?>GiftIcon.gif” alt=:”><b>giftbox</b>
>br>
<input type=”radio” name=”giftbox” value=”yes”>yes
<input type=”radio” name=”giftbox” value=”no”>no
<br>
<P><b>Please enter gift message:<b>
<br><textarea yes=”Gift Message” ROWS=4 COLS=20<>/textarea>
</select>&nbsp:<b>giftbox</b><br><br>
</form

Thanks,
Aimee

That HTML has a few mistakes in it. It looks like part of that form is missing.

**Aimee** · 09-22-2005 04:34 PM

Okay, can you help to fix it?

**Kravvitz** · 09-22-2005 04:36 PM

I would need to see what the code looked like before you modified it.

**Aimee** · 09-22-2005 04:52 PM

I longer have that.

**Kravvitz** · 09-22-2005 09:08 PM

Is this what you want?

Code:

<!--GIFT BOX//-->
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var giftBoxTempFunc;
if(typeof window.onload == "function") { giftBoxTempFunc = window.onload; }
window.onload = function() {
  if(typeof giftBoxTempFunc == "function") giftBoxTempFunc();
  var f = document.forms['input'];
  var ta = document.forms['input'].elements['message'];
  window.giftBoxMessageValue = ta.value;
  ta.value = '';
  ta.disabled=true;
  if(ta.style) {
    ta.style.backgroundColor = '#ccc';
    ta.style.overflow='auto';
  }
  f.elements['giftbox'][0].onclick = function () {
    if(this.checked) {
      var ta = document.forms['input'].elements['message'];
      ta.disabled=false;
      if(ta.style) ta.style.backgroundColor = '';
      ta.value = window.giftBoxMessageValue;
    }
  }
  f.elements['giftbox'][1].onclick = function () {
    if(this.checked) {
      var ta = document.forms['input'].elements['message'];
      ta.disabled=true;
      if(ta.style) ta.style.backgroundColor = '#ccc';
      ta.value = '';
    }
  }
}
// -->
</script>
<form name="input" action="html form action asp" method="get">
<img src="<?php print (ICON); ?>GiftIcon.gif" alt=""><b>giftbox</b>
<br>
<input type="radio" name="giftbox" value="yes">yes
<input type="radio" name="giftbox" value="no">no
<br>
<p><b>Please enter gift message:<b>
<br><textarea name="message" rows="4" cols="20">Gift Message</textarea>
&nbsp;<b>giftbox</b><br><br>
</form>

Yes! Thank you! Wow, I wasn't even close, huh?

Now, how do direct this so that it will go to Paypal?

**Kravvitz** · 09-24-2005 04:41 PM

You're welcome

This might help.

**Aimee** · 09-24-2005 07:04 PM

Someone helped me come up with this. It works when it's alone. But when I cut and paste to one of the sales page, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps there should be just one <form>, not two.

Code:

<!--GIFT BOX//-->
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var giftBoxTempFunc;
if(typeof window.onload == "function") { giftBoxTempFunc = window.onload; }
window.onload = function() {
if(typeof giftBoxTempFunc == "function") giftBoxTempFunc();
var f = document.forms['input'];
var ta = document.forms['input'].elements['message'];
window.giftBoxMessageValue = ta.value;
ta.value = '';
ta.disabled=true;
if(ta.style) {
ta.style.backgroundColor = '#ccc';
ta.style.overflow='auto';
}
f.elements['giftbox'][0].onclick = function () {
if(this.checked) {
var ta = document.forms['input'].elements['message'];
ta.disabled=false;
if(ta.style) ta.style.backgroundColor = '';
ta.value = window.giftBoxMessageValue;
}
}
f.elements['giftbox'][1].onclick = function () {
if(this.checked) {
var ta = document.forms['input'].elements['message'];
ta.disabled=true;
if(ta.style) ta.style.backgroundColor = '#ccc';
ta.value = '';
}
}
}

<!-- end form here -->

Hum, okay, everything seems to be working, except I still can't get the $4.00 gift box fee added to Paypal. Do I need an "okay" button to submit the giftbox charge?

I'm very confused and it took me all morning to get this far.

Thanks!

**Kravvitz** · 09-25-2005 10:50 PM

An additional button would not help. I suspect that you need an intermediate form processor, because paypal does not recognize a form control called "giftbox". That means that you will probably need to find someone to write such a script for you.

**Aimee** · 09-26-2005 06:18 AM

Okay, well thank you for all your help!

Hey, would you happened to know anyone willing to do this for next to nothing?

**Aimee** · 09-26-2005 11:19 AM

Please disregard the message earlier. It's fixed.
But I have one last question.

I'm unable to read the gift message because I don't have it directed (forwarded?)anywhere. What do I need to do for the message to be deliver to me with their invoice?

**Kravvitz** · 09-26-2005 03:57 PM

You're welcome

Probably what I said in reply #12 applies to that too. I just don't have experience with using Paypal like that, so I can only make educated guesses about this.
