text box auto-fill file name

[Guest]

I have a "add to cart" button with a text box generated by paypal. I was
hoping to have the text box recognize which jpeg was displayed and auto-fill
the jpeg file name so buyers wouldn't have to enter the information
themselves. Is this possible?

I have an inline frame ( I1) with sub-catagories that when selected, opens
in another inline frame ( I2). In I2, I have a gallery generated by
photoshop (a scrolling bar of thumbnails, that when selected shows the image
in a larger size). I was hoping to point the text box to the larger file
name and have it display it so that when a customer clicks on the "add to
cart" button, the text will be sent to their paypal shopping cart.

The text box works now, but they have to manually enter the text.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you consider using the PayPal shopping cart or one of the 3rd Party PayPal Shopping carts, such
as:

I am using the PayPal shopping cart. the "add to cart button and text box
was generated by PayPal. The problem is that I have 3000+ items, so it would
take way too much time to generate a button for each item. That is why I
want to point the text from the file name selected to the text box.

You will need a database application using a server-side scripting language, unless someone knows of
a method of doing this with JavaScript.

But if you have 3,000 plus items you really should be using a database driven shopping cart
application. Check under the PayPal Merchant Tools for 3rd Party Shopping Carts.

Does that mean that I will need to rebuild my site?

I don't think you would have to re-build your site, just re-do the display/purchase process.
