I'm not sure what to do in order to complete this project. I need to create a shopping cart that uses only one HTML page. I have the table set up showing what is being sold but where I am lost is the JavaScript.
I don't know how to link the "Add to Cart" button with all the necessary data( The name, description, and price) to be able to add it to the cart. I don't need to be able to remove it from the cart, but it does need to show the total. After searching online for a few answers, I've tried some things but just cannot figure it out.
Any help is definitely appreciated because I am completely lost at this point and am new to JavaScript in general.
This is the jsFiddle but that was a little confusing to me, because it's working differently on there than if I just went to Run in Notepad++
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/renavi/ATjvt/5/
function AddtoCart() {
console.log('hi');
var x = document.getElementById('Items');
var new_row = x.rows[1].cloneNode(true);
var len = x.rows.length;
new_row.cells[0].innerHTML = len;
var inp1 = new_row.cells[1].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
inp1.id += len;
inp1.value = '';
var inp2 = new_row.cells[2].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
inp2.id += len;
inp2.value = '';
x.appendChild(new_row);
}

You simply need to use simpleCart
It is a free and open-source javascript shopping cart that easily integrates with your current website.

Here's a one page cart written in Javascript with localStorage. Here's a full working pen. Previously found on Codebox

I think it is a better idea to start working with a raw data and then translate it to DOM (document object model)
I would suggest you to work with array of objects and then output it to the DOM in order to accomplish your task.
You can see working example of following code at http://www.softxml.com/stackoverflow/shoppingCart.htm
You can try following approach:
//create array that will hold all ordered products
var shoppingCart = [];
//this function manipulates DOM and displays content of our shopping cart
function displayShoppingCart(){
var orderedProductsTblBody=document.getElementById("orderedProductsTblBody");
//ensure we delete all previously added rows from ordered products table
while(orderedProductsTblBody.rows.length>0) {
orderedProductsTblBody.deleteRow(0);
}
//variable to hold total price of shopping cart
var cart_total_price=0;
//iterate over array of objects
for(var product in shoppingCart){
//add new row
var row=orderedProductsTblBody.insertRow();
//create three cells for product properties
var cellName = row.insertCell(0);
var cellDescription = row.insertCell(1);
var cellPrice = row.insertCell(2);
cellPrice.align="right";
//fill cells with values from current product object of our array
cellName.innerHTML = shoppingCart[product].Name;
cellDescription.innerHTML = shoppingCart[product].Description;
cellPrice.innerHTML = shoppingCart[product].Price;
cart_total_price+=shoppingCart[product].Price;
}
//fill total cost of our shopping cart
document.getElementById("cart_total").innerHTML=cart_total_price;
}
function AddtoCart(name,description,price){
//Below we create JavaScript Object that will hold three properties you have mentioned: Name,Description and Price
var singleProduct = {};
//Fill the product object with data
singleProduct.Name=name;
singleProduct.Description=description;
singleProduct.Price=price;
//Add newly created product to our shopping cart
shoppingCart.push(singleProduct);
//call display function to show on screen
displayShoppingCart();
}
//Add some products to our shopping cart via code or you can create a button with onclick event
//AddtoCart("Table","Big red table",50);
//AddtoCart("Door","Big yellow door",150);
//AddtoCart("Car","Ferrari S23",150000);

Please have a look at following free client-side shopping cart:

Hope you will find it useful.
For a project this size, you should stop writing pure JavaScript and turn to some of the libraries available. I'd recommend jQuery (http://jquery.com/), which allows you to select elements by css-selectors, which I recon should speed up your development quite a bit.
Example of your code then becomes;
function AddtoCart() {
var len = $("#Items tr").length, $row, $inp1, $inp2, $cells;
$row = $("#Items td:first").clone(true);
$cells = $row.find("td");
$cells.get(0).html( len );
$inp1 = $cells.get(1).find("input:first");
$inp1.attr("id", $inp1.attr("id") + len).val("");
$inp2 = $cells.get(2).find("input:first");
$inp2.attr("id", $inp2.attr("id") + len).val("");
$("#Items").append($row);
}
I can see that you might not understand that code yet, but take a look at jQuery, it's easy to learn and will make this development way faster.
I would use the libraries already created specifically for js shopping carts if I were you though.
To your problem; If i look at your jsFiddle, it doesn't even seem like you have defined a table with the id Items? Maybe that's why it doesn't work?
