[IUG] acquire form and recommendations release 2006

["Aine Meehan" <meehan dot aine at itsligo dot ie>]

Dear IUG Members, 
We wish to implement online ordering of books in our library. Our lecturers
are responsible for ordering the books. They usually would print out book
details from Amazon, and hand them in. Sometimes they go to great lengths
tying out lists of books. These are then either rejected or accepted, and
typed into our system as order records. 
It would be nice to be able to tell the lecturers to order online from the
http://library.itsligo.ie/acquire page. I picked up Corey Seeman's (Thank
you Corey) cuatomized form from the clearing house thinking it would solve
my problems, and it is sort of working. 
I wish the price , isbn, and programme (drop down list) information to go
directly into the acquisitions programme. 
At the moment, when I click on the recommendations button in acquisitions,
and view detailed recommendations, the only information coming through is
author, title, and other information.  
Here is my code for the acquire page:


	
-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function copydata() {
    document.acq.mention.value = 'ISBN:  ' + document.acq.isbn.value + '  /
PRICE:  ' +
document.acq.price.value;
    document.acq.other.value = 'DEPT:  ' +
document.acq.department.options[document.acq.department.selectedIndex].value
+
 ' / FORMAT:  ' +
        document.acq.media.options[document.acq.media.selectedIndex].value;
    document.acq.submit();
}
//--></SCRIPT>
