Hi all,
I have
a new problem. One of the catalogs I set up is for a Tobacco shop. The shop is
located in Michigan, which has a 16% tobacco sales tax on top of our normal 6%
sales tax.
I have
the checkout.html detecting if an item ordered is a tobacco product. Now I need
the right direction to head in so that I can either place perl code that will
calculate the tax for that specific item, or a way to call a routine that can.
In both cases, the code to do such a thing eludes me.
I may
be totally off on this as it may not be possible at all. I would really rather
not make a seperate catalog just for MI buyers that would have the products just
tagged as nontaxable and incorporate the tax into the price if I don't have to.
Could someone point me in the right direction with this? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Here is the code that detects the items in
checkout.html
<SCRIPT> // JavaScript Form Validation Demo // by Paul Colton function check_tax(form) { // Make sure the email field is not blank var foundState = false; var ch = form.state.value; ch = ch.toUpperCase(); [loop arg="__TAXAREA__"] if(ch == "[loop-code]") { alert("You will be charged [currency][fly-tax [loop-code]][/currency] sales tax\nsince you are shipping to [loop-code]."); [if ordered 99-102] alert("Since you are shipping to Michigan, and have a tobacco product in your order, an additonal 16% tobacco tax will be added to each tobacco product in your cart. Please press UPDATE to reflect the new tax addition."); [/if]
foundState = true;
} [/loop] return foundState; } </SCRIPT> Bill Beecham
