| How
do I add an image to the top of my Order Form?
If you want an image/audio/video to appear in the top
HTML of one of your shopping cart pages, click on the
'Cart Setup' >> 'Customization' screen from the
main menu of your account. You have several areas here
that allow you to access the HTML of your shopping cart.
The ‘View Cart Top HTML Message’ and ‘View
Cart Bottom HTML Message’ give you access to the
top and the bottom HTML areas of the first Shopping
Cart page. The ‘Order Form Top HTML Message’
and ‘General Purpose Statement Message’
give you access to the top and bottom HTML areas of
the second Shopping Cart page (the billing page).
There are also options on this page giving you access
to the HTML on both the customer receipt email and the
page that your clients see when they unsubscribe from
one of your mailing lists (by clicking on an unsubscribe
link within an email they receive).
In order to have an image appear in the content of
these pages, you would just add a tag similar to this:
img border="0" src=http://www.yourweb.com/yourimagesdirectory/image001.jpg
width="260" height="209" hspace="0"
This way, when the shopping cart page opens and tries
to load the graphics file, the system will go to www.yourweb.com
and look in the appropriate directory for the image
file.
Often, a major challenge with this process occurs when
attempting to open an un-secure media type in the top
HTML of our second shopping cart page (the billing page).
This shopping cart page is run off a secure server,
so unless you save your image/audio/video in a secure
directory of your own, you will run afoul of most browsers.
Browsers display a warning message when attempting
to open a secure page containing un-secure media. This
tends to interrupt a sale in progress with an unexpected
security warning from Windows. Not exactly what you
want when a prospect is deciding whether or not to give
you their credit card information... yikes.
This can be easily avoided by saving your media in
a secure directory of your own. You can then call the
image from the top HTML of our shopping cart billing
page without worrying about browser errors.
We have even tried to help with this process by offering
a secure area within your account. You can upload up
to 5 megs in images here and our system will automatically
generate and provide you with the URL that you would
need to use to call the image.
You can find the ‘Secure Image Area’ from
the main menu:
Cart Setup -> Secure Image Area
