Implementing an 'Agree to Terms' popup

[webspinster]

Okay, guys, if it seems I don't know a whole lot it's because I don't. I create and edit websites using Hot Dog Pro and have done very rudamentary HTML language on my own.

Here's my challenge. I need to create a popup upon checkout that the customer needs to click acknowledging they agree to the shipping/guarantee terms of the vendor before completing their transaction.

You know when you are installing software you get those popups that contain a license agreement and two little buttons at the bottom saying I Accept or I Decline as far as the terms of the license agreement? Well I need something like that so that after adding the items they want to their shopping cart when the customer clicks on checkout one of those boxes pops up and it would contain the shipping/guarantee information for the vendor and the customer would need to acknowledge they have read the shipping/guarantee policy and agree to its terms before being able to continue with their checkout. After they click I Agree the popup would disappear and they would continue on to the next step of the checkout.

The business uses Yahoo Small Business as their store front if this helps and anyone is familiar with that service.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE????

Thank you so much. I am definitely over my head on this one!

Heya, WebSpinster.

The easy way to do it:

<form id="thePfhorm" ... >
.
.
.
<input type="submit" onclick="if( prompt('Do you agree to these terms?') ) return true; else window.location.href = 'refuseTerms.html';" value="Continue -&gt;" />
 

This code will create a button. When the User clicks on the button (and has JavaScript enabled), he will be prompted to agree to the terms. If he clicks cancel, he will be taken to the refuseTerms page. If he clicks OK, the form will submit his information.

The one caveat is that if the User doesn't have JavaScript enabled, he will not see the prompt. This is why we're using a submit input; the default action is to submit the form.

As if anybody ever reads those things anyway :P
