<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Add to Cart" />

</form>

p.s. I would use the bvafp (did I get all those letters in the right order?), but I haven't quite published yet... and it looks like you must publish before you can use it.

thanks for any help you can give.

How are you adding this to your site? It looks like it came from Mal's? You add it in an html box - and have to make sure you've given mal's all the correct info -

The button works, but doesn't take me to a working account at Mals' - do you have one?

Hi Beth,
Yeah, it is with Mal's but I didn't add my correct ww# or my user id on here. And I do put it all into an html box... sorry, I should have put more information. My brain is only half working this afternoon.

My problem is I get a syntax error: Price not set - when I click to add any items. all other add to cart buttons have worked out - even when I have a radio button option.

But it worked for you? What product did you click?

Well, I just tried it - and it worked from what I could see. But I went to a Google page not found, because it didn't have a user id, etc. If you want me to test the code, email it to me and I'll let you know if I get your syntax error.

ok, for others who would like to know the solution we figured out... here it is. Totally simple!
Rather than this form action: <form action="http://ww#.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="POST" name="Button1">

we needed to have a ....addmulti.cfm.... for it to be able to add each checkbox individually.
Thanks for all the references that helped us come to that conclusion.

I also changed each product/price/qty to reflect a sequential order.

cheers.
