[ic] Creating a search page need some help and pointers re-calculating costs

["Allen Armstrong" <allen@fixitmobile.com>]

Hi,

I have created a search page that does the following: (modification of the
results page)

It displays a product picture and description then it searches another
database and does a match of products that are associated with the main
product.  In this example it is a pager and the options are 3 months
service, 6 months service and 12 months service.  Other optional services
include more storage, 1800 number attached, etc.  Each pager has a set price
and then the user must choose the service.  I achieve this by using Radio
buttons, for options and check boxes for optional service.

When the user press "Buy" the correct skus gets submit to the cart.
However, what I would like to do is have user either click on re-calculate
button or the forum to auto-adjust the price.  Can any one point me in the
right direction?  Links, samples, anything. :-)  You either send the
information to the list or to me privately.

Here is the code that I have modified:


<table width="600" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
bordercolor="0099ff">
<tr bgcolor="ffffff" valign="middle">
<td align=center height="5">
<div align="left">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" bordercolor="#FFFFFF"
align="center" width="100%">

<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_order_item"  VALUE="[item-code]">

<tr>
<td valign="top" width="180"><img border="0" src="[item-field image]"
align="left"><P>
<td valign="top" width="280">[item-field comment]</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" bordercolor="#FFFFFF"
align="center" width="100%">
<tr>

Please Choose the Service you wish:<br>

<td width="500">
[loop search="

                fi=pager
                st=db

                co=1

                sf=dil
                se=A
                op=eq
                nu=0

                sf=productsku
                se=[item-code]
                op=eq
                nu=0

                ml=50
"]
<input align="left" type="radio" type=hidden name="mv_order_item"
value="[loop-field sku]" checked> [loop-field comment] @ $[loop-field price]
<INPUT NAME="mv_order_item" type=hidden><BR>
[/loop]

<P>Add optional features to you your pager:<br>

[loop search="

                fi=pager
                st=db

                co=1

                sf=dil
                se=B
                op=eq
                nu=0

                sf=productsku
                se=[item-code]
                op=eq
                nu=0

                ml=50

<input align="left" type="checkbox" type=hidden name="mv_order_item"
