If you have any comments, suggestions or improvements to this tutorial, please discuss them on the forum: http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum/
Notes:
This solution is not a replacement for a professional (database based) ecommerce solution like oscommerce. However you can easily integrate this lightweight solution into your Web Builder website and you will have full control over the look and feel.
To keep this example a clean as possible we left out most of the input validation, but you can easily add this yourself using the form validtion tools in Web Builder.
We are planning to integrate a shopping cart component in WYSIWYG Web Builder in the near future, but first wed like to know if we are on the right track. Let us know what you think;)
