shopping carts...

[Bades]

I'm assuming shopping carts are client-server side applications?

I thought I read somewhere all you need to do to implement one is have knowledge of CSS?

Anyone care to shed some light for me please? I'm trying to set up an e-commerce site for apparel.

thanks

Carts are run server side

You need more than CSS if you were wanting to write one yourself. You would need a good understanding of a scripting language like PHP and a database technology like MYSQL

There are pre built carts out there which are free to use.

Here is a few....

http://www.prestashop.com/

http://www.magentocommerce.com/

http://www.oscommerce.com/

I have dipped a big toe in the pool of Zen-Cart and its quite cool although other members may have their own preference

These are based on PHP / MYSQL so you will need these technologies installed locally before you can roll your sleeves up.
