Anyone know how to make a 1-of-a-kind item shopping cart?
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: CGI scripts

I've been selling on Ebay for a while and the fees are killing me! I've been trying to make my own website to sell some of my things from off-Ebay to cut down on some of the fees, sort of like an Ebay store(not to mention Ebay has become something of a fascist regime towards sellers!). Can anyone tell me how to make a shopping cart-type setup that caters to one-of-a-kind merchandise? What I mean is, say if I have an old toy listed for sale and someone wants to buy it, they can click on the paypal/shopping cart button and the item will be placed in their cart, but it will also no longer be available for anyone else to purchase, unless the potential buyer changes their mind and leaves the site, removes it from their cart, etc, and then it will become no longer available for sale after payment has been made, similar to how half.com works. I found the script on the angelfire build page for adding paypal buttons, but I don't want to sell the same thing 12 times before I can remove it for sale from the site. I'm semi-experienced with html but I'm a quick learner, I just haven't found a script yet that can do this. I'm also willing to pay someone if they can help me create something simple that can do all of this for me for a reasonable price. I have a basic site built at the moment, the URL linked to my angelfire site is grandeillusions.com if anyone wants to see what I've done so far.

     Thanks in advance!

Simple question about HTML Forms--can someone help?
Mood:  quizzical
Now Playing: www.angelfire.com/scifi/artbyjohn
Topic: HTML Questions

Since I can't get any help from the tech support people, I was hoping someone who knows their HTML could help me!

I've  run a website here for 6 years for my comic book publishing company.   We used to have a form that collected information from our visitors, and when they hit the submit button, it would thank them for their comments, and the results of their form would be sent to my e-mail address.

This form doesn't work anymore---information is never e-mailed to me.   Can someone tell me what sort of command WOULD send me an e-mail containing the forms filled out by my visitors?

Below is the script I've been using successfully for the past 2 years, but it just stopped functioning recently, no matter how how many times I try to make it work.   Any help would be appreciated!

 Sincerely

John  (www.screamingmonkeycomics.com)   

 

<FORM ACTION="/bin/script_library/form_handler_file" METHOD=POST>

    What's your name?
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="visitor_name"><BR>

Discarding ads by Google

Ever wonder how to get rid of those stupid "Ads by Google" on your site? Simply add the following tag to the <head> of your site:

<style type='text/css'>

<!--

iframe {

display:none

}

-->

</style>

My Angelfire Counter Doesn't Count Everyone
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: My Angelfire Counter Doesn't Count Everyone
Topic: HTML Questions

Hi!!
I installed a counter on my site (http://bluezone111.angelfire.com) but it doesn't count everyone who visits the site. My counter goes up 2 but my page views total 9. I read the Help Forums and it says it counts people who only go to the front page and includes HTML gear (ie: my counter) but I still get the same problem.

Any ideas why my hit counter only counts some people but not everyone the page views get?? I clicked on my own site and it counts but not everyone who visits. Why is that??

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that my website Darth Leon Customs is now up and running.  You can see it at www.darthleoncustoms.com.

There you can see all my past and present custom action figures.  but that's not all, there is Star Wars, Gi Joe, Marvel Legends, transformers, movies, dvd, music, sports, basically anything and everything.

Hope that you will find the time to stop by www.darthleoncustoms.com.

Thanks

Leon

Removing Links
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: news

In your journal, I was wondering if these links can be removed?  Tripod home, tripod builder, tripod member, spot light, register your domain(already have one), and they are groups of 1 and 2. Last night I removed grouped links but these still show! How do I get them removed?

Page not displaying
Mood:  sad
Topic: HTML Questions

Several weeks ago my page stopped displaying (except for the ads at the top) at https://www.angelfire.com/az/Taylorology . When I go to the webshell editor, the page will view just fine from within the editor (but of course no ads are there when viewing from within the editor).  Is there some sort of html code I need to add to (or delete from) the page so that it can be viewed normally again?  

Is something in the html ad code at the top conflicting with something in my html code (my code is all very simple)?  If so, what is it?

Domain not showing up in account.
Mood:  down
Now Playing: news
Topic: HTML Questions
I haven't updated my website/domain in 2-3 months b/c I've been gone. I went into my account today to check on the domain and it was no longer listed. I checked the URL but it's still there but I can't update it. It keeps going to free web page that I want nothing to do with. I checked last months bank statement and we were billed for the domain. My blog and photoblog are also gone. I didn't cancel or delete anything and not sure why everything is all of a sudden gone. I don't share any of my information with anyone (I'm a solitude type of person). I don't get how it is showing up but not in my account. I sent out a ticket but not sure the hours for help. I also noticed that domain help wasn't available. I don't understand what's going on?

Excel Workbook not displaying

An Excel Workbook saved as html does not display properly on angelfire but does so on localhost.  In Webshell, if I edit the page and Preview it, it works just fine but when I access it via the URL it doesn't.  This is apparently due to the code that Angelfire adds to pages (after the body object) before shipping them to the browser. In Preview, the Angelfire code is not present.

Does anyone have a clue?  Angelfire's help pages and FAQs are not currently available.

 The page is
