hi

i was wondering if anyone knew how to do calculations in asp?
i want to use this to design my first shopping cart.

e.g. when a user clicks on a checkbox, it will automatically recognise that the item is e.g. $30 and then if/when a user clicks on another item which is e.g. $50, the script will add up the $30 + $50 and send it to the url or somewhere else if possible.

i am a beginner in programming so please can you help me with this as i would be very grateful, if you cant help me solve this problem then can you please tell me where i can find a free, good and easy to program paypal shopping cart?

simple

<%
dim a,b,c
a + b = c
response.write "Your total is $"&c
%>

C is your total.
store this info in a session or a cookie.

Thanks,
should I name my checkboxes; 1,2,3,etc.?
so how would I be able to add them up when and if the user clicks on a checkbox(es).

i hope you understand I am still a beginner in ASP and am finding this a bit tricky ;-)

thanks, nabi

no, don't use numbers for naming, the script can get confused in some cases.
just use letters, or words for names,
like i shoed in the example A, B, C and so on,
