Foren / Cotonti / Extensions / Support / Module main page blocking js?

This problem is driving me insane trying to solve it. I will try my best to explain. 

I am trying to build a shopping cart. Categories and products are built with php and each item has an "add to cart" button. I have a single hidden form and js to submit the form. This method works really well for the shopping cart or shop.cart.php (for updating quantities or deleting items) but for some reason it doesn't work at all on shop.main.php it only redirects me to index.php?productid=1&command=add when trying to add items. I have tried everything I can think of. 

$js = 'function addtocart(pid){';
$js .= 'document.form1.productid.value=pid;';
$js .= 'document.form1.command.value="add";';
$js .= 'document.form1.submit();';
$js .= '}';

cot_rc_embed($js);


if($_REQUEST['command']=='add' && $_REQUEST['productid']>0){
		$pid=$_REQUEST['productid'];
		addtocart($pid,1);
		cot_redirect(cot_url('shop', 'm=cart', '', true));
		exit();
	}

'PRODUCT_ADD' => cot_inputbox('button', '', 'Add to Cart', array('onclick' => 'addtocart('.$rowproducts['product_id'].')'))

That is a snippet of my shop.main.php but its the only part that isn't working properly. 

<form name="form1">
	<input type="hidden" name="productid" />
    <input type="hidden" name="command" />
</form>

from the tpl.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I can do it fine without javascript, this is simply a learning experience. The addtocart() function is both a javascript function and php function as seen in my code above. the java script just works the form. This way I only need one form to handle any item rather than needing a form per item.

Anyway the issue is the onclick directs back to index.php with the form results like this: index.php?productid=1&command=add and I dont know why.

Yeah you guys are completely right. I was being dumb. Thanks.

Yeah thanks Kingsley but I should of payed more attention to tensh's reply, it was just super early and I didn't read it properly. 

Anyhow, like I said to you the shop module is coming on nicely. Nearly all the basic features are working, including Paypal. Just working on the frontend now, adding stuff like sliders for the featured items.

Yeah thanks, I always do this just didnt show in code.

By they way for anyone interested in a shop module (with Paypal) you can check out my progress here: http://battle-box.net/dev/index.php?e=shop

You need to be logged in to see it:

username: guest

password: welcome

On what page(s)?

This is strange behaviour I think:

if ($usr['isadmin'] == true)
			{
				
				$t->assign(array(
						'CATEGORY_LINK' => cot_url('shop', 'm=category'),
						'PRODUCT_LINK' => cot_url('shop', 'm=product')
					));
					
			}

and in the tpl file:

<!-- IF {CATEGORY_LINK} -->
		<li><a href="{CATEGORY_LINK}">Manage Categories</a></li>
        <li><a href="{PRODUCT_LINK}">Manage Products</a></li>
		<!-- ENDIF -->

and yet it not only displays the links when not logged in, but the links are incorrect. 

Can you please post the full:
 

<form name="form1">
    <input type="hidden" name="productid" />
    <input type="hidden" name="command" />
</form>
I'm not entirely sure I got the whole idea behind, what you had to put where.

Sorry

 I don't understand what you are trying to do?
