A bit cheeky, but I have tried other resources with no luck and feel this is the best place to find someone who knows ASP.
I have a shopping cart (midicart), problem is we sell in £, and the merchant needs the amount in dollars. I'm willing to update a figure, usually our total * 1.50 but have tried in vain to implement it.
The line that sends the info across to the merchant is :
<input type="text" name="total" size="10" VALUE="<% = Request.form("total") %>">
I changed this to :
<input type="text" name="total" size="10" VALUE="<% = Request.form("total")*1.50 %>">
Hoping our total would be multiplied by 1.5 and given to the merchant, which it does but doesnt include a decimal place, ie £14.50 suddenly becomes $2175, I tried *0.015 but that didnt change the result. there must be a simple way to do it, but I'm stumped.
Any help would be more than appreciated.
Our shop is at :
http://www.xpress-gifts.co.uk/shop
The page that transfers info to the merchant is :
http://www.xpress-gifts.co.uk/shop/order_transfer.asp

<input type="text" name="total" size="10" VALUE="<% = (CCur(Request.form("total"))*3)/2
%>">
Is this the line that I should change it too then ?
Thanks I'll give it a go

yes, or use CDbl instead of CCur, the key is changing the Request.form("total") which is a string, into a number.

no joy i'm afraid.
£5.44 in the shopping cart ends up as $816 , tried CDbl as well.
Maybe this isnt as simple as I thought it was gonna be..

What about:
<%= cint(Request.form("total"))*1.50 %>">

ASP can't multiply by a % AFAIK.
I would try this:
<%
dim amt
amt = CDbl(Request.form("total")) * 1.5
%>
<input type="text" name="total" size="10" VALUE="<%=amt%>">
Do the multiplication outside of the the printing.
If you want to round up the numbers to two digits use:
<input type="text" name="total" size="10" VALUE="<%=FormatNumber(amt,2)%>">

Are you sure you're not multiplying by something before that? This makes no sense otherwise. Are you trying some kind of currency conversion?

It is a crude currency conversion, were in the UK. Our merchant that will process the credit cards is US and only accepts $ figures.
Therefore we need to transfer our total to dollars and send it to them via the <form>.
Its an ASP shopping cart midicart.com
The link was just the page that changes from our cart to the merchant, before that page all the shipping details etc are taken.

Can you link up your form to just to a response.write instead of submitting the data so we can see whats going on?

can you post the code from the page with the form that sends the total value to the page you're having problems with?

All the pages up to order_transfer.asp work fine.
The order_transfer.asp page collects info from previous pages, ie items , info and sends it to the merchant 2checkout.com, getting the figure we collect in uk sterling and somehow changing it at order_transfer.asp into dollars so that the merchant gets a dollars figure is the problem
the previous page to order_transfer.asp is :
http://www.xpress-gifts.co.uk/shop/order_card.asp
These pages are used inside a frame.
