Hello everyone, I am new to this forum but i'm hoping you will all go easy on me! I am currently doing an e-commerce website for my course, and I have run into difficulty with the checkout page. Let me note, that this website only requires HTML, CSS, Javascript and cgi/perl (no php, ajax, etc). My web order structure is: frameset page-->
products page-->address details-->control page-->confirmation page.
Any how I am unable to carry forward the 'address details' values forward.
Currently my codes are:
Frameset page named "products2.html"
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Products Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET COLS="*,10" BORDER="0">
<FRAME SRC="products.html">
<FRAME SRC="control.htm">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
products.html page:
<javascript>
function processproducts() {
products = document.forms["choices"]
if(products.total.value=="" || products.total.value=="0")
alert("You must select item and quantity!")
else {
controlForm = parent.frames[1].document.controlForm
controlForm.total.value=products.total.value
controlForm.myTextArea.value=products.myTextArea.value
location.href="ship.html"
}
} </script>
<form Action="" method="post"form name="choices" >
<table>
<tr><td>The Value of your order in £s is:</td></tr>
<tr><td><input type=text name="total" size=12></td></tr>
<tr><td>Products Ordered:</tr></td>
<tr><td><textarea name="myTextArea" value="Blank" rows=6 cols=60>
</textarea></td><tr>
<tr><td><input type=button value="Sub-Total" onClick=submitOrder()></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type=reset value="Clear"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type=button Name="next" value="Next" onClick=processproducts()></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

<script Language="JavaScript">
function processship() {
ship = document.forms["shipDetails"]
if(ship.firstName.value=="" || ship.firstName.value=="0"|| ship.lastName.value==""||

My confirmation page will be generated by .cgi
I would be very grateful if anyone could have a look and see where my coding has gone wrong especially as when I get to "ship.html" and click the submit button, it does not
