making add to cart button - am going round in circles..I just want something simple (click)

[MrsA]

Please please.. , would some very kind person out there help me

am trying to make  an 'add to cart' button without success..!!

I have an existing website but am trying to make a complete new website using Kompozer because MS front page will soon no longer be available (am using Windows XP SP3 and office 2000)   so before getting a new laptop/pc with Windows 7 and IE9, I thought I'd mess around with Kompozer to create (well try to at least!) a new website which can then be uploaded  and ready to use with new pc..  but this too is easier said than done..

my existing ' add to cart button' works great - but I don't know how to transfer the code to my new web pages ( IF of course the code hasn;t changed at all)  so thought to take bull by horns and start afresh

I just want a simple 'add to cart' button without drop down menus where I have to state item names/description  and or prices - as all my designs (jewellery) are different one off pieces and all have different prices.

At the moment the code  looks like this:

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

<input type="image" src="x-click-but22.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">

<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="MY WEBSITE ADDRESS.com">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="DESCRIPTION OF ITEM ETC">

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="I ENTER AN AMOUNT HERE 00.00">

<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">

<input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Notes/requests/comments">

<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">

<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">

<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF">

</form>

and if people want to  buy more than one item, they then  click on another 'add to cart' button etc..  and  the sums automatically add up > they go to pay  - bish bosh..and I get an email stating that I've been paid for XYZ itms including postage (which is included in item price)

The 'add to cart button'  that I am trying to make from scratch  is telling me that I have to have drop down menus for items and prices - and to list and state them, but this is not what I want!   I want to be able to amend the item name and value as and when I'm ready to  upload a new item

Is the above code still valid for me to use?? or if not, can someone please help me make a simple 'add to cart button' without all the singing  & dancing extras??

I also have a 'view cart' buttion - the code for which is this:

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="MY WEBSITE ADDRESS.com">

<input type="image" src="view_basket.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

<input type="hidden" name="display" value="1">

</form>

Has this code changed  or is it still the same?

Perhaps someone with Kompozer experience  could help me - or anyone willing and able for that matter.  I am going round in circles, pressing buttons and not being 100% sure what I'm pressing and why!!

My website was made for me  by a friend 7 years ago, and I have learned some html codes so as to amend things as and when (or copy/paste certain codes) - but with  Kompozer I don't have to fiddle with html - as it really is all Chinese to me..

thank you so much and sorry for the long question.. but felt it best to try and be as precise as possible

Mrs A - with a headache! 🐵  and who thought to quickly?? make some buttons
