Does anybody have a code or a solution to this please?
Thanks!

You can add it as a product feature. It would be time consuming possibly if you have a lot of items but I think it would work.
I know that's not the answer you were probably looking for, but it's all I got.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps if you offered a bit more information?
If you just need a couple of insurance options, you could add these right below the cart items and Continue-Recalculate buttons in "View Cart:"
around line 238 in shopaddtocart.asp
response.write "<b>Insurance for your order is an optional $5.00</b><a href='http://www.yourwebsite optional.html/shopaddtocartnodb.asp?Productname=Insurance&price=5.00
&quantity=1><img src='vpnav_cat.gif' border='0'>or use text here instead of button</a><p>"
If you need a pull-down menu. . . beats me!

Wow rvaga...that is slick. I never knew shopaddtocartnodb.asp existed. That could come in handy. Thanks!

Hi Rvaga,
Your code/text did not wrap properly. I got confuse with the correct syntax for "><a href='http://www.yourwebsite optional.html/". There is no optional.html on vpasp. Help. Thanks!

Hi Keng-
Here is another way it could be written:
response.write "<b>Insurance for your order is an optional $5.00: </b>
<a href=shopaddtocartnodb.asp?Productname=Insurance&price=5.00&quantity=1>
Add insurance</a>"
You don't use the full absolute URL that includes your store domain name ("www.yourwebsite ") I think that is why rvaga stuck "optional" in there to hint that you can use the full URL or not. Note that in the code I showed above, I just used a text link. rvaga was showing how to do a button that may look nicer depending on your overall goal.

Thanks for stepping in and explaining, greatphoto.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant by "optional." I tend to use full URLs out of habit, it is not necessary. I do this so I can move a file and not worry about whether links to a subdirectory are valid.
As far as I know, there is no difference between the extension .htm and .html. Anyone know, is there a difference??
The add-to-cart-no-database is in the developer's pdf manual, I'm way too dumb to come up with something like this on my own.
Keng, if you haven't browsed the following page, you should:

No real difference between .htm and .html. Apparently, .htm is traditionally the more standard Windows (IIS) extension to use, as a holdover from the past when windows/dos only supported 3 letter extensions. Meanwhile, Linux (Apache) gravitated towards the 4 letter version. I think that now either one works with either platform much of the time.
Okay, so shopaddtocartnodb.asp was documented. Still, this was a nice original application of it. I think your claim of being dumb won't hold up if you keep having such good ideas...
