Here is a full list of all of the syntax (codes) used in Mals plus Mals FAQ's.
Over the past few years, I along with others have helped countless people in correcting or designing forms for them to use with Mals cart, here are some of them that might help you!!!
With all of these forms, to view the source, simply right click, copy and paste into your html editor, change the ww12 to your server number and don't forget to change the user to your own number.
If you need help with any of these forms or, you find one not working correctly, please email me.
Any testing you may do using forms on this page WILL NOT be passed through to any payment processor.
