Setup Guide : Adding a "View Shopping Cart" Link

You have basically two ways to add a "View Shopping Cart" link to your store.

The first method is to use a standard form tag. This can be used under most circumstances but can lead to alignments problems. Here is an example:

<FORM
        METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.myshopcart.com/cart/shop.cgi">

        <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="merchant" VALUE="

Merchant_Name

">

        <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="view_cart"
        VALUE="View Shopping Cart">

        </FORM>

This is what the code above would look like:

You can also use an image in place of the plain View Shopping Cart button.

<FORM
        METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.myshopcart.com/cart/shop.cgi">

        <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="merchant" VALUE="

Merchant_Name

">



        </FORM>

This is what the code above would look like:

The second method is to use a image and a link. And example of this would look like:

<a
        href="http://www.myshopcart.com/cart/shop.cgi?merchant=Merchant_Name&view_cart=yes">

        <img src="

http://www.your-domain.com/image.gif

"
        border="0"></a>

This is what the code above would look like:

You can also just add a text link. An example of this would look like:

<a
        href="http://www.myshopcart.com/cart/shop.cgi?merchant=Merchant_Name&view_cart=yes">

        View Cart

</a>

This is what the code above would look like:
