shopping cart items page with several 'remove' buttons

[wolfing1]

how would I go doing it without javascript and using 'POST'?
Having a page with a variable list of items in a shopcart, each item
with its own 'remove' button. How could I do this without a javascript
and using POST as the form type? (so having <a href="page.htm? remove=2>
is not possible)

It depends on how you do it.
1. You can do it with a graphic, so <a href="cart.htm? remove=2"><img
src="trash.png" alt="Move to Trash" title="Place item in the trash"
width="16" height="16"></a>
2. Put the items into a list and use check boxes. You can use a
little javascript for a "check all" button - that will work for users
with javascript - but the submit button will still be available for
those without. I would use a POST method, so you would come up with:
DELETE FROM table WHERE id IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
3. You can do it with javascript and the button element. However,
buttons will not work for users without javascript enabled.

Personally, I would go for number 2. It is probably the easiest for
the user, and you, as the developer.

Thanks but I have to restrictions I must adhere to if possible:
- No javascript
- Without passing parameters in the URL (my boss doesn't want to see
like cart.htm?remove =2 for example)

Then either number 2 or

For Each Item in List
<form method="POST" action="nameofs cript">
Item Number <input type="submit" name="itemnumbe r" value="Delete">
</form>
Next

Then your sql would be DELETE FROM table WHERE id = " & request.form
