Just cut and paste your order page into another file and make that non secure.When people go to order,send them to your secure page with a link at the top saying "If your browser doesnt support secure servers click here" and that will take them to the same form just not secure. >I hadn't thought of that. My earlier orderform was a simple mailto html form, and one of the reasons I went to the cart was because some ISP's (AOL, especially!) don't support that. the 'attached form' never comes thru. My aol browser works fine with those > >and I lack the CGI knowledge to make many changes to the cart. maybe need to find another one that the other form could send to? that's a thought. (sigh...and here I thought I was done!) > Nobody knows everything :) Here is a good place to try something new.I havent used it but once i finish my other site im gonna try it out http://www.usfca.edu/usf/turner/e-merge I think your site is great keep up the good work :) wes
