Ok guys plaese excuse the words and be patient with my Question.

Question = ) Im trying to sep up my shopping cart and Im using the paypal one. Now I can do the tags for every single Item im selling but It takes up too much space ( this would be the extra options like weight, or size, left or right bowling shoes) this is what my page looks like;

but I dont like my page too look that crowded, now what im asking is there a way for me to put the information to where they click on a picture and it sends them to a page that gives them the specs and options to choose from.

Now i could just do a page for each and every item, but that could take me forever, this is what im trying to accomplish.

What about maybe making it into two columns or something? You are somewhat limited since there is no database driving the site using PayPal.

Thanks Coreybryant,

Youve answerd my question , so I do need a database for it too work out that way. Well while were at it how about anyone know
about a good database driven shopping cart, that is not to expensive and is easy to use?

[Corey Bryant]

Well it might be easier / better for you. Check out http://www.metalinks.com/ - they have a free version & then they even have a paid one that has sizes, colors, etc. Really easy to use. See if you like their setup. Also make sure that your hosting company supports ASP for this - it will need to be on a Windows platform. If you are on UNIX or something - there are free shopping carts out there as well. A lot recommend: www.oscommerce.com

I definitely recommend oscommerce. I've installed & configured it for two of my clients to date. I love it. Recently I discovered a great contribution for it called shoppe enhancement controller. Now I don't know what I did without it. Great stuff.
