HTML/JavaScript shopping cart help

Question

Hello, I'm new to the DaniWeb community and I am in need of some serious help. I am taking a web design class, but the teacher I currently have now has no idea what he is doing; he is an Info Tech teacher, but we have two classes at the same time.

I have to create a shopping cart for my class, and I you can tell, I have no idea how to create a shopping cart with HTML and JavaScript.

I do not have any money to give for anyone's help, but if anyone thinks they might be able to help me create it, I will send them the coding I have at this moment.

Thanks for the code.. This code works fine. But I want more help in it. How can I add a cart at the end of this, which will show details of product which have been ordered.

For example : I selected 2 copies of Dreamweaver and 2 copies of java. I have clicked on add to cart button. Both have been added in cart below. Now I want to cancel dreamweaver copy.

I would suggest you to work with array of objects and then output it to the DOM in order to accomplish your task.

This is very basic code that can be used as starting point for building more complex shopping cart.

You can see working example of following code at http://www.softxml.com/stackoverflow/shoppingCart.htm

//create array that will hold all ordered products
    var shoppingCart = [];

    //this function manipulates DOM and displays content of our shopping cart
    function displayShoppingCart(){
        var orderedProductsTblBody=document.getElementById("orderedProductsTblBody");
        //ensure we delete all previously added rows from ordered products table
        while(orderedProductsTblBody.rows.length>0) {
            orderedProductsTblBody.deleteRow(0);
        }

        //variable to hold total price of shopping cart
        var cart_total_price=0;
        //iterate over array of objects
        for(var product in shoppingCart){
            //add new row      
            var row=orderedProductsTblBody.insertRow();
            //create three cells for product properties 
            var cellName = row.insertCell(0);
            var cellDescription = row.insertCell(1);
            var cellPrice = row.insertCell(2);
            cellPrice.align="right";
            //fill cells with values from current product object of our array
            cellName.innerHTML = shoppingCart[product].Name;
            cellDescription.innerHTML = shoppingCart[product].Description;
            cellPrice.innerHTML = shoppingCart[product].Price;
            cart_total_price+=shoppingCart[product].Price;
        }
        //fill total cost of our shopping cart 
        document.getElementById("cart_total").innerHTML=cart_total_price;
    }


    function AddtoCart(name,description,price){
       //Below we create JavaScript Object that will hold three properties you have mentioned:    Name,Description and Price
       var singleProduct = {};
       //Fill the product object with data
       singleProduct.Name=name;
       singleProduct.Description=description;
       singleProduct.Price=price;
       //Add newly created product to our shopping cart 
       shoppingCart.push(singleProduct);
       //call display function to show on screen
       displayShoppingCart();

    }  


    //Add some products to our shopping cart via code or you can create a button with onclick event
    //AddtoCart("Table","Big red table",50);
    //AddtoCart("Door","Big yellow door",150);
    //AddtoCart("Car","Ferrari S23",150000);

Have a look at following free client-side shopping cart:
