Display Types

TYPE=details

'TYPE=details' displays the available detail information about a particular product. If an image is associated with the product, it displays at the top of the page. If there are options associated with the product, they will display in the product details section. The details page has three sections:

  • Product Description
  • Pricing Details
  • Product Details

The 'print preview' button allows the buyer to view and print the entire product details page, including the list of options and selected option values. To suppress the 'print preview' button, use the optional PrintPreview tag.

The 'add to cart' button places that specific product in the cart and brings the buyer to the cart.

The 'add to RFQ' button places that specific product in the RFQ and brings the buyer to the RFQ.

Use the part or record optional tag to specify the product to display.

The information displays within several sections and subheadings. The stripecolor tag determines the background color of the subheadings. The default is pale yellow.
