HI I USING PAPYAL MERCHANT TOOL AND WANT TO HAVE A BOX ON THE SIDE THAT WILL DISPLAY CURRETN ITEM IN MY BASKET IS THERE ANYWAY TO DO THIS OR IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND A BETTER SHOPPING CART THE BEST EXAMPLE I CAN GIVE OF WHAT IM TRYING TO ACHIVE IS HERE

EXAMPLE

YOU CAN SEE THE VIEW BASKET BOX ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN

What you are referring to are site 'blocks' or side boxes..They're pretty much made dynamcially meaning is the admin area of a shopping cart. One example would be oscommerce that's free but a pain to use in my opinion, but then there's Pinnacle Cart that I use which has a costly price tag, but will do the job easily. You will need to search around, because you prob. don't need a real expensive cart at first...Look at OsCommerce and you should find your way around shopping carts from there.

Good Luck
