multiAdd works in some circumstances, not others

[harry]

I'm soooooooooo close.



I'm trying to use the multiAdd function, in a form, to add a "rush processing" fee to an order. The idea is that a customer can configure a product and specify rush processing. Then when they click "Add to Cart," the product is added along with an additional charge.





Overview of the process:

User fills out a form.

When any field changes, I read all of the forms values and prepare an action string

I put the action string into the form's action value





Here's the summary:



testpage 1: testpage 2: add a

Browser form action form action single product

is hard coded set by script to the cart

======================================

Chrome 3.0 success! fail success

Safari 4 success! fail success

Firefox 3.5 fail fail success

IE8.0 fail fail success





Here's the hard-coded string that works in two browsers. The first product has options, the second -- the rush processing fee -- does not:



<form id="orderform" name="orderform" style="margin:0;padding:0;" action="javascript:EJEJC_multiAdd(Array('https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=111111&cl=99999&ejc=2&o1=regular&&on0=design&os0=Adam&on1=cel&os1=Harry&on2=colors&os2=red and blue&quantity=76','https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=222222&cl=99999&ejc=2'));" target="ej_ejc" method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8">



My dynamically prepared string looks identical to the hard-coded string (at least in alert statements and Firefox's debugger). Also, I've combed thru the variables multiple times to make sure they're straight.



I deeply appreciate any help or insights

this is more clear, I hope:

Here's the summary:



Chrome3; hard-coded string SUCCESS; dynamic string FAIL

Safari4; hard-coded string SUCCESS; dynamic string FAIL

Firefox3.5: hard-coded string FAIL; dynamic string FAIL

IE8.0: hard-coded string FAIL; dynamic string FAIL

adding a single product is always successful

I'm in over my head. While it works OK in Chrome (now), it fails in Firefox, IE and Safari. The problem seems related to the way I'm calling e-junkie functions.



What resources are available?

Can you send us the URL of your live web page that you are testing the multi-add button on?

Here is the current test page: www.CandyTorahs.com/ginormous/text-three.php



It works in Chrome, but not in Firefox.

Apologies for this delayed reply, but the test page URL you provided appears to be defunct now? Taking a look at the sample code you provided above:



<form id="orderform" name="orderform" style="margin:0;padding:0;" action="javascript:EJEJC_multiAdd(Array('https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=111111&cl=99999&ejc=2&o1=regular&&on0=design&os0=Adam&on1=cel&os1=Harry&on2=colors&os2=red and blue&quantity=76','https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=222222&cl=99999&ejc=2'));" target="ej_ejc" method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8">



I noticed a couple things that may be relevant to the problem you were having. First, you've got a double & where there should be only one -- i.e., 'o1=regular&&on0=design' should be 'o1=regular&on0=design'. Second, there may be a problem using spaces in option values within a URL -- i.e., 'os2=red and blue' should be either 'os2=red+and+blue' or if that doesn't work, 'os2=red%20and%20blue' (%20 is the proper URL-encoding for an ASCII [space] character, but using + for a [space] should work as well).

Thank you for looking at this. I really appreciate it!



I reposted it here: candytorahs.com/ej/test-three.php. Some of the image links are broken - just ignore them. The problem is still demonstrated.



In Chrome, I can choose a rush fee and it's added correctly. Regarding the double-ampersand, it's gone now. And the "red and blue" text (os2) is optional. Whether it's a string with spaces or just a null value has no effect on the problem.



Thanks

We'll need to ask Development to look into this, as it's a bit beyond Support's familiarity with how our software is programmed.
