<p>Open app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/sales/order/view/items/renderer/default.phtml at look and at ~ line 68 until you find</p>
<pre class="brush: php; title: ; notranslate">

<p>Replace with:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How often would you buy from an online shop and ship the goods to an address that is different from your billing address? Sometimes, I do use the card that is registered with my home address, but use my office address for delivery. This might not be the same case with about 80% of online shoppers.</p>
<p>Then, why does Magento eCommerce select the &#8220;<strong>Ship to different address</strong>&#8221; option as default!? Here is a way to fix it and make Magento to select &#8220;<strong>Ship to this address</strong>&#8221; by default.</p>
<h3>Magento FIX :</h3>
<p>Copy app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Billing.php to app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Billing.php. This ensures that you do not end up messing with Magento&#8217;s core files.</p>
<p><strong><em>Nagivate to the function</em></strong></p>
<p><code>public function isUseBillingAddressForShipping()<br />
{<br />
if (($this-&gt;getQuote()-&gt;getIsVirtual()) || !$this-&gt;getQuote()-&gt;getShippingAddress()-&gt;getSameAsBilling())<br />
{<br />
return false;<br />
}<br />
return true;<br />
}</code></p>
<p><strong><em>Swap around the returns &#8220;false&#8221; and &#8220;true&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><code>public function isUseBillingAddressForShipping()<br />
{<br />
if (($this-&gt;getQuote()-&gt;getIsVirtual()) || !$this-&gt;getQuote()-&gt;getShippingAddress()-&gt;getSameAsBilling())<br />
{<br />
return true;<br />
}<br />
return false;<br />
}</code></p>
<p>That&#8217;s a good fix. Enjoy working with Magento eCommerce!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all like to style our Magento <strong>add to cart</strong> button as an image button. The problem is that IE 8 (Internet Explorer 8) will add the product twice and cause the quantity of that product in the cart to double up. There is an easy fix to this problem.<span id="more-245"></span></p>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<pre>&lt;input type="image" src="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getSkinUrl('add-to-basket.png') ?&gt;"</pre>
<pre>name="image-button" onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit(); return false;" /&gt;</pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: Consolas, Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18px; white-space: pre;">
</span></span></span></span></pre>
<p>Notice the <strong>return false;</strong> that I&#8217;ve added after the <strong>productAddToCartForm.submit()</strong>.</p>
<p>This will fix the problem of IE submitting the add to cart button twice.</p>
<p><strong>Update (Thanks Barcaro) :</strong><br />
File where edit is to be made&#8230;<br />
app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml<br />
(change /default/default/ to your custom template path).</p>
