Does anyone know the proper coding for the shopping cart icon?

Hello everyone, I recently discovered that the title bars in the pages can accept coding to produce what you want (although I am a newbie who has no idea what I’m doing, so I could be wrong).

I have decided to abandon (hide) the sub menus on my SP site and just use the main menu, but I do like my customers being able to see their order total whenever they want (as well as checkout whenever they want) via the shopping cart icon. Because of this I have decided to put the shopping cart icon in the main menu.

The rough code that I have extracted for it looks like the snippet below (I know that I have to substitute out my own website’s checkout page address in the href quotes, but this is for the example). You just put it in the title for the page in which you are using the checkout page template, and voila (almost)….

<span id=”cartqty”>0</span> / $<span id=’carttotal’>0</span>

I’m sure it’s a work-around way of trying to do what I want (It probably goes in the php file or the CSS stylesheet or something, but I don’t know coding all that much and this seems to work…

can anyone help polish this coding up so that it displays correctly and continuously pulls the up-to-date items totals+amounts?

Anyone know of the proper coding to get the shopping cart icon (with the auto-refreshing running totals) in the same line as the main menu bar and have the cart pull up the item+price totals?
