Hi, I have seen many scripts which allow a client to work out the cost of a custom package by typing in the amount in to a text field, does anyone know of a script which allows the client to choose from a drop down menu for things such as space and bandwidth etc?

We have one, uses javascript, fairly simple to edit, but it's not integrated with any sort of billing system yet, it only calculates it.

Would it be possible to send it me?

My site has the exact system you are looking for.
It uses drop-down boxes and text-input-boxes to input whatthey want bandwidth and disc space wise, as well as if they want reseller or SSH.
What you need to do if you want it to take that to billing is learn a server-side script, ours uses PHP. So it updates the price when you press "Quote". Then proceed sends the variables from that page to the payment page.
With regard to actualyl dealing with the payments, if you use Paypal it's fairly easy. In fact go to webassist.com and they have a program which along with dreamweaver does the hard work for you.
Hope I've helped

Hey Jamie,
I got your email about the script, I just haven't had a chance to sit down with it yet. I had the same problem with the number shooting out many decimal places for no apparent reason. I fixed it, but that was a while ago, so I'll have to download and play with your version a bit before I have an answer. I'll get to it tonight (my time), I promise! :)
