Sorry for all of the questions, I just keep running into issues while setting up my first PC store.

I have a Product Option (size) that is required to be selected by the customer prior to checking out. I have added the "Add to Cart" button to the horizontal featured products list (thanks netprofits). When a customer adds a product to the cart this way, no required product options show in the cart. How does one go about showing this required field in the viewCart.asp file? Maybe the intent is to not have these fields show in the view cart and only show during actual checkout.

Thanks again in advance for you help.

Therein lies the problem with using the Add to Cart button on anything other than the Product Details screen. If you have products that require options, your only real option is to NOT show the add to cart button for those items on the product list screens so the customer must go to the product details page to select options.

Thanks netprofits. I just replaced the modifid pcShowProductH.asp file with the original.

Also, is there a way to add to the pcShowProductH.asp file the List Price (shown with strikethrough) like what is displayed when you actually view the product details?

Thanks again. I have not gone to bed before 3am all last week because I was excited to be finally working on setting up our PC store. I'm sure I am spending much more time than I should on this, but I really want to understand what changes I'm making to the ASP codes throughout the store.

Your best bet for formatting almost any piece of text in Product Cart is to view the page in a browser, view the source for the page, search for the text you want to format and then look at the HTML surrounding that piece of text. You should see the CSS class or ID that is being used to define it's style. In this case, I believe it is: pcShowProductPrice. Then check the two CSS sheets that come with Product Cart.

pcHeaderFooter.css defines all styles related to the header, footer, left and right columns (basically the outer template).

pcStoreFront.css defines all the other styles in the "content" area of the site.

Then just tweak that style to match what you want.
