The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

                <input type=hidden name="subject" value="2008 Summer Session Booking Form">
                <input type=hidden name="redirect" value="SummerThanks.html">
      </form>

Its action is set to open formmail.php which sends an email with the form data to the recipient. This works fine.

I also want to open another page afterwards which enables the user to either pay by Paypal, or pay by cheque.   The Paypal payment amount is calculated from the radio buttons:


If "Working"    £ 125
Otherwise:    £ 105

To which we have to add cost of coach:

No charge if "I do not wish to book...."
Otherwise:
If Edinburgh or Glasgow:
If "Working" : £ 25
Otherwise  : £ 20

Otherwise:
If Preston:
If "Working" : £ 20
Otherwise  : £ 15

What I would like to do is to either pass this (as a session variable?) so that, after the formmail page is opened and the email is sent, the user is taken to another page where the data is displayed as:

Summer Session Cost:    £ xxxx
Coach Cost                 :    £ xxxx
Total due                    :     £ xxxx


I have another page on the site:

It has this:

<SCRIPT SRC="language-en.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT SRC="Paypalnopcart.js" type="text/javascript">
  //=====================================================================||
  //               NOP Design JavaScript Shopping Cart                   ||

  // JavaScript Shop Module, V.4.4.0                                     ||
  //=====================================================================||
</SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript">

And a form:

<form name="form1" ACTION="PaypalManageCart.html" onSubmit="AddToCart(this);">
            <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
                <td><img src="PamphletSpacerLower.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10" align="left">Quantity</td>
                <td>&nbsp;</td>
                <td><input name="QUANTITY" type="text" size="2" maxlength="3" onChange=       'this.value=CKquantity(this.value)' value="1"></td>
                <td><img src="PamphletSpacerLower.gif" alt="" width="10" height="10" align="left">
                  <input name="image2" type="image" value="Add to Cart" src="BuyNowUp.gif" alt="Buy Now button"  ></td><td><input type="hidden" name="PRICE" value="1.00"></td>
                <td><input type="hidden" name="NAME" value="Christ our Eucharist"></td>
                <td><input type="hidden" name="ID_NUM" value="P4"></td>
                <td><input type="hidden" name="SHIPPING" value="0.10"></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
            </form>

How can I pass the booking parameters to the PaypalManageCart.html page so that the details are displayed on it and the user can then click on a "buy now" button (which is on the page" which will take them to Paypal?
