You can't create a shopping cart purely in html. You need a server side script such as Ruby on Rails, PHP or ASP as well as a database such as mySQL, postlite etc.

Nope. A shopping cart has to run on the server of whoever host yur web page. Check with them, they may have that available for a fee. Or look for a host who does. But you can not create one in html.

There are some "plug-in" type scripts for shopping carts.
While it's true you need server side scripting, there is more to it then just stating it can't be done.
You will need to find out what your web hosting package supports. Call up your web host and ask if they support php, asp, or any others.
Once you know that you can look for some plug in software.
I've heard lots of good things about xcart from developers but it might be too complicated. It runs on PHP but it does cost money

Yahoo has some merchant products as well
