Making buttons that do stuff

How would I make buttons that do something (when clicked) in an html popup? You double click a car and an html popup with information about the car appears, and I would like to have a buy button and a cancel button. Thanks.

Alright, it sounds like you want to check out the htmllib. Mess around with that for a while. Basically, you just create a form object and display it when the object is clicked.
Form/Stats
  form_window = "window=carstats"
  var
    tmp/speed
    tmp/cost
    tmp/car
    cancel
    cancel_interface = BUTTON
    buy
    buy_interface = BUTTON
  HtmlLayout()
    return \
{"
Car: [car]<br>
Speed: [speed]<br>
Cost: [cost]<br>
[buy][cancel]<br
"}
  buyClick()
    usr << browse(, "window=carstats")//close the window
    usr.Buy(car)
  cancelClick()
    usr << browse(, "window=carstats")//close the window

obj/car
  var
    cost
    speed
  Click()
    var/Form/Stats/s = new()
    s.car = src
    s.cost = cost
    s.speed = speed
    s.DisplayForm()


Something like that should work. This is probably really confusing, which is why you should study the htmllib's readme carefully.

You forgot to define the button's click procs as procs.

I haven't tried it yet, but I hope I would've been able to figure out an "undefined proc" error. You never know though, it is late. Thanks again for your help : )
