Please take a look at my first attempt at an e-commerce site www.bluevinyluk.com, any advice to functionality etc. would be much appreciated

1st thought - loose the intro. Most of your visitors will be repeat customers and it'll get annoying for them having to skip it each time.

You should pre-populate the qty field with "1". Saves the customer entering it (90% of the time only 1 copy will be required).

When you recalculate an order the summary section "jumps" out of the page (you loose the header and contents).

On the customer information page "New Customers:" and "Returning Customers:" look like links, but aren't - could be confusing.

I disabled JavaScript and got it to do this:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'cDbl'

/bluevinyluk/ssl/process_order_SF.asp, line 88

(clicked on "new customer" twice)

You're missing the hash before some of your hex color values - color:818181 should be color:#818181 etc.

Need the doctype declaration for HTML W3C compliance.

Big bonus points for hosting RealPlayer though! Saves the customer the nightmare task of navigating real.com!

Designwise looks fantastic, very impressed.

Just noticed that changing quantites in the order_summary page, then clicking recalc doesnt change the order - just sends you off to the plain order_sf page.

Thanks, hadn't noticed the recalculate bug.

Having trouble with the recalculate javascript (i have very little javascript experience).

Basically the Order.asp page is the template with order_sf.asp included (<!--#include file="order_SF.asp" --&gt, the recalculate button is coded as:

<input type="image" value="" src="<%= C_BTN14 %>" border="0" id="Recalculate" name="Recalculate" onclick="javascript:recalc.value='';" >

The script which recalculates is located in the head section of order.asp:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript id="recalc">
<!--
function reCalc()
{
//#400
//#531
var doCalc = document.frmQty.recalc.value;
if(doCalc != "no")
{
document.frmQty.recalc.value ="1";
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

This was taken from some javascript site, so I can't figure out why when it recalculates it takes me to order_sf.asp?

ny ideas?

<input type="image"> will submit the form when clicked on, this is probably what's making it load the page.

Try changing it to a normal <img src="">. You have the JS function assigned to the onclick event so it shouldn't affect that.

AdrianFRST

<input type="image" value="" src="<%= C_BTN14 %>" border="0" id="Recalculate" name="Recalculate" onclick="javascript:recalc.value='';" >

becomes:

<img src="<%= C_BTN14 %>" border="0" id="Recalculate" name="Recalculate" height="35" width="35" alt="Recalculate" onclick="javascript:recalc.value='';" >
