Like a Shopping Cart but -NOT- a Shopping Cart

Have you ever seen www.apple.com/store?
And if you noticed when you choose G5 for example... you select the kind of MAC and then you can customize it, add memory, another hard drive, bigger monitor... etc.

Well, each time you select from the menu to customize the computer, the price updates.

I am making a similar thing. BUT ITS NOT A SHOPPING CART!!!.. I want the visitors to be able to make their own custom package of "wedding videography"... the advantage? They see in real time, how much it will cost them. Then when they're ready, they send it as a "Request for Services" to the videographers.

The vidographers in turn, get an email and see a request, and can contact their potential client and discuss what they've chosen.

That's the idea. Now in that process, I know everything except the part that UPDATES THE PRICE in real time, as if it was a cart.

How do I do that?

My best guess would be to add an afterUpdate behavior on each field that you have that will refresh the page.

but you will probably need to pass the current field contents to a session variable and bring it back in to the fields after refreshing so that you donlt loose the data
