Ordering multiple items in one go

[Sascha Wüst <swuest@rz-online.de>]

Hi,

at the moment our shopping cart runs like this:
the user selects an item category and the user is presented the results
page (e.g. all screw drivers). Now he can select an item and a quantity
( size 4 two piece) and presses 'order'. Now he is shown his basket page
with all his orders done so far. 
Now, when he wants another item from the selected category he has to
select the item category again to do this (in the worst case he must do
a search again and that takes bandwidth and performance I would like to
evade) 
I would like to the item page in a way that the customer can choose
several items and quantities from the item/results page (eg. screw
driver size 1 five pieces size 3  two pieces and so on) in one go and by
pressing once 'order', all selected items are transferred into
his/her(/its :-)) basket.

Has anyone solved this and/or  where could I have a look at a minivend
page like this? (Of course you could post it)

Thanks
Sascha
