Hi Guys

I have paid a guy to try and fix this for me and have come up stumps.

If I use this code in my browser (IE9) outside of the oscommerce store as in a HTML template, it works fine.

If I copy and paste it to form part of a product description, it doesnt function

Using mozilla it works fine but using IE9 it just wont work, IE10 it also works.

I cant figure it out, so hoping someone here can see why it doesnt work when pasted in a product description.

A live version of this script is here, http://smbfinance.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=29 if you type melbourne into the calculator you get a result with mozilla and IE10, but nothing with IE9. However as mentioned running the template not in the oscommerce description it functions fine in IE9

Thanks

Richard

I hope you got a refund from "I have paid a guy to try and fix this for me and have come up stumps."

You cannot have a form inside a form, anyone who takes money, calls themself a

developer and doesn't know this needs their head checked. It's getting so much worse :(

So:

</form end form shipping>

</form end form cart_quantity>

is WRONG

</form end form cart_quantity>

</form end form shipping>

is BETTER
