Help Me:Scriptaculous ajax drag and drop wedding price quote thingy

Filed under: Escapades into the slightly freaky... — Red July 10, 2007 @ 10:13 am

Well its a project I am trying to get to work, running from this tutorial: Ajax Workshop 3: Shopping Cart using Script.aculo.us I am trying to construct a ‘Wedding Quote Calculator‘ The drag and drop is the easy part, but I need to assign real values to the ‘boxes’ and dynamically add up everything in the DIV and pull though in the total box. I am stuck. Its not hard as I am not a programmer! I was wondering if I could store the values in a php file, add whatever is placed in the shopping cart then spit out the value. I don’t want to resort to mySQL as the data will be fixed.I am also going to construct a drop down and radio button version as I doubt I will get it working too soon and it needs to be done for 2008 and 2009 weddings which are booking now!

I posted this on my pro blog scriptaculous-ajax-drag-and-drop-wedding-price-quote

I do need help on this as I am not a code guru!

The money went out friday like removing a bullet from your own flesh. Boy I am skint. I am going to have to live on £30 a week till the end of the month because of that baby. My laptop is still giving up the ghost even with all the anti virus software removed.

They god damn engineer computers to die after 2 years. It happens too often and its too accurate!
