RE: [mv] problem with remove checkbox on basket page

["Otis Gospodnetic" <otis@DOMINIS.com>]

More about this problem - I put the same remove checkbox in two places on
the basket.html page (the original spot plus another one).

...
<INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME="quantity0"
onClick="this.form.action='http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/subs/processJb7c2bbn;;6
30',
this.form.submit()" VALUE=0>
...
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME=quantity0 VALUE="1" SIZE=1 MAXLENGTH="1">
...
<INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME="quantity0"
onClick="this.form.action='http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/subs/process?Jb7c2bbn;;
632',
this.form.submit()" VALUE=0>
...

The first "quantity0" checkbox works, the second one does not.
Ooooh, just figured it out.
The problem is the "quantity0" text (not checkbox) field. I guess the CGI
takes takes the value of first quantity0 param (which is first checkbox), so
putting the checkbox after the quantity0 text field doesn't have any effect
on the CGI.

This limits the layout a bit, but I guess asking people to enter 0 (zero)
for the quantity if they want to remove the item from their shopping cart is
common?
Yes/No?

Thanks,

Otis
