[ic] Use Checkboxes instead

We did this in a pretty cool way using the UpSell Feature. I don't
remember how much modification I did to this code before this final
version, but it looks like you can just plug this right into the UpSell
Component file. It will display the item of the page the person is on as
well as any items that are associated as UpSell items for that product.
It will list a column with checkboxes that people can check to add them
to the order. I don't know if this is the best solution, but it has
worked well for a lot of our clients.

Just make sure the following variables are included near the top of your
flypage.html file:

[set upsell][item-data merchandising upsell_to][/set]
[seti main_item][item-code][/seti]
[seti main_title][item-field description][/seti]
[seti main_price][currency][item-field price][/currency][/seti]

(Sorry about the font colors that are given... I was lazy and didn't do
this version with the Foundation theme.cfg)
