RE: New Account Page / Shipping Calculation Problem

[Cameron Prince <PRINCECB@novachem.com>]

Hi Joachim,

I went to your site and you have essentially what I am looking for...
However, I didn't see an input for state or any selectors for shipping
type... And one bug is when you select your country, the page refreshes and
adds you to the database before you can complete the form... I would remove
the on-click java from this select field.

I am wondering how moving the shipping/billing info to the new_accounts page
will affect the tax calculation and shipping method...

Could you e-mail me a copy of your new_account and checkout pages? (And any
others that were modified to allow you to move the shipping/billing info to
new_accounts)

Thanks for your help...

Great site too... I like the icons by the products that allow you to see
what has been added to the basket...
