How to make shipping cost calculation automatic?

I've simplified my checkout page like this. Normally all panes are collapsed and customer information fields are populated with data fetched from customers profile. Customer can change addresses if he/she wants to.

Everything else works perfectly, but i've not yet figured out how to make that shipping rate calculation done automatically.

Any suggestions where to start digging?

Thank you very much. Problem solved, and now i know where to start searching if documentation/site search doesn't help.

note to self: do NOT forget contributions directory.

hehe I also use Google to search sites like ours... "search terms site:ubercart.org" would let Google work its magic on our entire site.

This thread gave me an idea. I created a couple of yubnub search commands for ubercart.org. I'm pretty new to yubnub.org, but I've found it to be a time saver, particularly if you tie it into your browser (easy to do with FF). One command uses the ubercart.org search to pull topics that might match your search terms. The other performs a google search of the entire ubercart.org site (in the same manner Ryan pointed out). I had to use "uct" for my search command -- uc was taken by the university of colorado. So, to search for "discount module" using the ubercart.org search functionality, enter "uct discount module" at yubnub.org. To do a google search of the entire ubercart.org site, enter "guct discount module" at yubnub.org. Again, this may seem like a long road to a short house, but if you tie yubnub into FF, it's a time saver.
