Complicated PDF catalogue question?

I'll have to give this some thought... but my first reaction is that you would probably need JavaScript to do this.

Most likely you would have to set up some form fields on the product pages, text boxes already populated with the information that you want sent to the order form. Then you would set up a button with the JavaScript attached to it, so that when its clicked it sends the data to the order form.

That's my first reaction, anyway.

My second reaction is my first reaction was sloppy and over engineered. Hey, its late, i'm a little fuzzy in the head.

You don't need any form fields on the product page. Just a button that says "Order This Item" (or something like that).

The info you want sent to the order form can be contained in the JavaScript as variables with text strings assigned to them. When you click the "Order This Item" button, the script populates the fields in the order form with the text strings from the variables.

The bigger problem is, once you get the order form filled out, what do you plan to do with it?

And now I'm putting this fuzzy brain to bed. If I come up with something else, I'll let you know.
