 * Hi
    I am currently working on a site for a client, which needs a price generator.
   The pricing generator is javascript, and works like this: [Test version](http://ninjinx.me/booster.html)(
   View the code by using your browser’s source text function)
 * I would now like to take the chosen values and the result and add to the shortcode
   for my shop-plugin, which looks like this:
 * [wp_cart_button name=”VALUE 1 to VALUE 2″ price=”RESULT”]
 * [This](http://stefan-christensen.com/test/order-now-2/bundles/) is where the 
   shop is located, if you would like to view that as well.
 * The plugin is _WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart v3.8.5_
 * I hope this is the right forum, and thanks in advance. Just ask if you need more
   information, I’m here to get help 😉

 * Javascript can only pass information back to the server and PHP via some HTTP
   request. Either as URL parameters for GET requests or as a data string for POST
   requests. Any cookie values are also passed with each request.
 * It’s not trivial, nor necessary, to insert data passed from javascript into shortcode
   attributes. The passed values will be directly available from $_REQUEST or it’s
   related super global arrays by the shortcode handler.
