XPC iFrame: Submit button
I seem to be the first to implement the iFrame with XPC --
I solved most of the design challenges to integrate the "lite interface" into 4.5.4 one page checkout. There are a few very annoying design defects (cosmetic) that I need X-cart help to remedy. 1. The submit button. see: http://www.youtube.com/v/sGjdOdVVnnM at about 00:15, the big ugly rectangular submit button. a) the code for submit does not behave like a true link. The cursor does not change to a hand, and there is no indication that this is a button. Just because it's a rectangle and says, "Submit" is not the universal "CLICK ME" -- the cursor becoming a hand is expected. My office manager failed to click because of this. And she's my customer. b) the submit button should have easily editable button code (now that's a joke) just like x-cart. Well, if not easy, then it should be just like x-cart. I want a hover and maybe even a click interface. This is not rocket science -- but x-payments hides this stuff. 2. Related to the submit button, the SIZE of .xpc-iframe-shown in /common_files/css/main.css (also in altskin.css) is stock 470px -- this is WAY TOO LARGE for most credit card gateways. At least for mine (Elavon). So I made it smaller (300px) -- but thee is also a <div> in xpc_iframe.tpl that calls .button-hider And .button-hider looks like it puts a 50% transparent box over the submit button until the fields are all filled out. THAT's a TERRIBLE WAY TO DO THIS! Because it disrupts the formatting of the credit card input box. I can guarantee that most merchants accept more than just credit cards from the xpc gateway. The way to do this is with the button css. And I hate the x-cart button code so much -- but it needs to be done. I don't want to do it. But if the iFrame xpc solution is the future, it needs to be done. Alex, I KNOW that some of this code is x-cart -- but it's only there because of x-payments. SO to summarize, my shopping list to make xpc iframe work and not fool the customer: 1. The Submit button must look like the rest of X-Cart. If a skin has rounded rectangles (Books & Magazines) then the xpc iframe must try to match the skin, or provide a place where the dev can do so; 2. THe submit button must ACT like every other button in xcart -- including hover and click; 3. The method of disabling a button when fields are not filled in and not ready to submit should not be a transparent div that destroys the page formatting. Want to look at my store? I'll PM you a link. Thanks, Jeremy

Re: XPC iFrame: Submit button
DId I say that the "now processing" image while the iFrame loads is sized for a much larger page and looks terrible. It should be the size of the container.

Re: XPC iFrame: Submit button
Jeremy, thank you for impressive list of suggestions. I am to show them to X-Payments development team, but I want you to know that we are going to roll out improved iFrame support for OPC and iFrame support for FLC along with improved checkout routine in X-Cart. I hope to have these improvements included in our next X-Cart v4.5.x version,.
We should pay good attention to your suggestions here, too.
