Hi all

I'm building this shopping cart but want a sliding scale of postage and packing depending on how much is spent in the shop. I'm using this but it's throwing up errors. Here is the basis of my code (intTotalPrice is the total Price and intPP is postage and packing).


if intTotalPrice > 10 then intPP = 2.50

    else

    if intTotalPrice > 30 then intPP = 5.00

end if

    end if


I'm sure the codes totally wrong but was wondering if anyone could help me go about it the correct way.


thanks

Adam

If the first condition tests true the second condition will never test...try reversing the logic
I
<%
If intTotalPrice>30 then
intPP=5.00
else
if intTotalPrice>10 intPP=2.5
end if
end if

One last thing, do you want a value if intTotalPrice is < 10?

Let me know if this helps

John

Hi John,

Yes that would be a good idea to have a < 10 option too.

Would that mean using an else if statement?

thanks

Adam,

You can either use another else or perhaps a case statement...if you think the increments will increase you may be better off using a case statement now. However, if you think the logic criteria will just remain at three levels another else will work fine.
<%

If intTotalPrice>30 then
intPP=5.00
else
if intTotalPrice>10 intPP=2.5
else
intPP=someotheramount

end if
end if

Hi John

This is what I've put in the code

If intTotalPrice > 30 then

intPP = 5.00

else

if intTotalPrice > 10 intPP = 2.5 then

else

intPP=1.5

end if

end if

but I get the following error:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'

Syntax error

checkout1.asp, line 223

else if
-------^

this is on line 223

else if

thanks

Adam

Does that line read "else" or "else if"

John

Sorry,,,,my mistake here is the correct code

<%

If intTotalPrice>30 then
intPP=5.00
else
if intTotalPrice>10 then
intPP=2.5
else
intPP=someotheramount

end if
end if
%>

Great, thanks alot John

Works fine!
