texte = >If not, then is there a way to return to the search results page after >an add rather that going to the invoice/view cart page?The problem here is that HTML forces you to go somewhere whenever a button or hyperlink is pushed. We thought it was a good idea to give the customer some feedback as to what they just did, otherwise they'll keep adding things to their cart and not know it.We recommend you put instructions on the shopping cart page that say press the Go Back button on your browser to continue shopping or put a button into the page that contains a JavaScript command to go back one step in the history file.Alternately, you can send them to a very simple page that just says Item Successfully Added to Shopping Cart rather than showing them the contents of the cart every time. Put another button on that page that lets them see the contents of the cart.
Finally, if you don't have very much simultaneous traffic on your site, you can simply put a [catalogItems] loop into your shopping cart page. It will show the results of whatever the most recent search was (but it could be someone else's search that happened a microsecond after yours, so be careful). It may work most of the time, but don't depend on it. Grant Hulbert, V.P.
