    Selling Tickets for a School Production

    Hey, I'm a senior in high school and I got stuck making a website for the school's drama department. It's due next wednesday and I'm almost done, but....a part of it is driving me crazy.

    See, I want to make it so people can buy tickets off of the website for the musical the school is having in a month. So, I created a catalog and am using paypal to have people pay for the tickets. It's just that....it's horrible. I mean, I understand it, but I'm afraid no one else will. It's a bunch of checkboxes and drop down menus. The buyer can't even check to see if their tickets are available until they are in the cart. Knowing anyone with a slow connection, that'll be frustrating. It's not what I want.

    For the last week, I've been imagining this magic ticket buying experience where the buyer can look at the sections of their choice (or all the sections at once) and they can see (by color codes) if the seats are taken or are available. ...And they could just click on the seats they want and click an Add Cart button and they are on their way. Too bad its only a DREAM!

    I don't know how to do this. I only know my basic HTML. Javascript and Flash just confuse me. Does anyone know where I can maybe find something like this? Or someone that can do it for me? I mean, I have some money, but I'm not super desperate. I just want this so I can get a good grade. I have the pictures of the sections, even cut out and everything. They are beautiful.

    Please! Someone help me!

    Welcome to The Scripts.

    Post the problem code. If it's just a display problem, this should be in the HTML/CSS forum. If it's Javascript/DHTML/AJAX functionality you want, you've come to the right place.

      Thanks! It is a Javascript I'm after. AFAIK, Javascript can do quite a bit and isn't as complicated. And I'm hopeing to find a great way to sell tickets.

        Ok, so let's deal with things one at a time. Exactly what functionality do you require? Post the HTML markup and any Javascript code.
