Hi All:

 

RE: Setting up taxes - this step-by-step was pulled from page 24 of the osCommerce documentation (which has been great so far):

 

How to Setup Your Taxes

In admin, under Locations/Taxes, click on "Tax Zones" [OK]

Click on the "new zone" button. In the Zone Name: input field I enter "CA" [LOOKING GOOD]

For Description I enter "California". Click on "insert" [THIS IS EASY]

After you click insert, you will see CA show up in the list. [YEP]

 

You think you're done, but not quite!

 

Click on the "CA" (or whatever name you have!) in the list and you

will see the heading say "Geographical Zones / CA" [NO, I DON'T, I HAVE NOTHING]

Here you see a "new zone" button again. Click on it! ? Now you get to select a geographical zone.

From Country, I Select ? United States

From Region, Select California.

Click "update"

 

A few more steps to go!

 

Now under "Locations/Taxes" click on "Tax Rates"

Click on "new tax rate" button

Select "Taxable Goods" from the Tax Class Title drop down menu

From the Zone menu, select CA (or whatever zone you created)

In the Tax Rate field enter the tax percentage

In the Description, enter the description, e.g. "California Sales Tax"

 

Now you're done!

 

The problem, as you can see is that the heading "Geographical Zones / CA" doesn't appear after I click on the tax zone I just created. Any pointers?
