Our Browsing/Shopping Cart System

Our shopping cart has many features to make using Andrews Gallery easy. In general, when you see an item you want, click on the "Add" button or cart button to put that item in your cart. To see what you have in your cart, click "Check Basket" or "Check Cart." You will be able to review your cart and discard items, if desired. To check out and place an order, click "Buy Goods" and follow the instructions. Finally, want to give somebody you wish list. Click on "Wish List" and follow the instructions. Finally, our catalogs are arranged like dictionaries or encyclopedias. Index menus allow you to pick item lists that allow you to view items and add them to your shopping cart. For a more detailed explanation, the following notes are intended to explain some features and how they can be used in detail. This page is broken into several parts which can be accessed using the buttons below.

General
Shown below is a sample screen with the areas marked "A", "B", and "Menu". When you go to one of our catalogs, a similar screen will appear.

The section marked "A" is used to display chosen lists. These lists look similar to the next picture. The list has a stock number, other data such as name and size, and an "Add" button. Clicking on the stock number will cause an image of the item to appear in the section marked "B".

Menus
The section marked "Menu" shows the choices for selecting lists to appear in section "A". Shown below is a menu for Lladró.

Since Lladró figurines number over 1000, we had to organize them for easy access. To do this, we used a dictionary-type approach. For example, clicking on "numeric" in the menu above will bring up the next menu.

This is an ascending list of available Lladró figurines by abbreviated Lladró stock numbers. Clicking on a number will cause a list to appear in section "A" that includes all figurines up to the next number.

The menus also include some site navigation commands such as "back" and "home" to help you get around.

Please note that there are other commands such as "categories". Try these out. Under Lladró, for example, you will find additional menus of figurines sorted by subject matter.

Finally, on some catalogs, an additional section will be seen. In the figure below, it is labelled "C".

Section "C" will contain an image as shown below.

This allows you to enter a stock number and bring up a new browser screen with just that item in it. If you don't see the screen, try shrinking your main browser screen. By manipulating the screens, you can make a side-by-side comparison of two items.

The Cart

Items are added to your "shopping cart" using the "Add" button. But don't worry, you haven't bought anything. You are just creating your own personal catalog at this point. Let's say you are considering three different figurines for purchase, wishing, or some other reason. Click on the "Add" buttons and place them in your cart.

Next, click on "Check Basket" in the menu section (you can see it listed in the samples above). Your personal list will appear in section "A". It will allow you to click between images and have them appear in section "B" (remember to use the stock numbers). Also note that the list does not have "Add" buttons. They have been replaced with the "Remove" word. Clicking on "Remove" deletes that item - you can prune your list.

If you are ready to order and want to do it on-line, click on "Buy Goods" in the menu section. Your list and a form will appear in Section "A". Complete the form and click on "Send". (Please review ordering to familiarize yourself with shipping costs on orders under $100.00, special handling, and international orders.)

WishList

Sometimes you want to provides someone else with a "wish list" or simply want a record of what you want. You can do this as follows:
  1. Click on "Check Basket" in the "Menu" section. Your list will appear in section "A".
  2. Click anywhere in section "A". This step is essential to tell your browser that you are interested in section "A".
  3. Use the "print" command in your browser to print section "A". If your browser has a separate "print frame" command, use that.

How it works

Our shopping cart uses JavaScript originally written and provided free by J-Shop. Since it uses JavaScript, your browser must be JavaScript-capable. Current versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer do this nicely. We believe that the current version of Opera should work too.

Second, when you add items to your shopping cart, you write a cookie to your computer. NOTHING IS SENT TO US. When a shopping cart is available, the list of items must be remembered. If I keep track on my computer, every item you add is sent to me and I record it. If you keep track on your computer, nothing is sent to me unless you say so (or click so). But to do this, the only mechanism is a cookie. The cookie is a temporary file that disappears when you leave our site. We will never know the contents of your cart until you send us an order.

Finally, the contents of our site are copyrighted, to include the shopping cart code. In accordance with the restrictions placed on the J-Shop code, if you want to use the shopping cart on your site, please go to their site.
