Inside each of the URLs that does a frame src, you would then put $ShowPage?template=xx&cart=[cart].So in this example, the master frame container gets sent a single $NewCart command which substitutes the _same_ cart number into each of the frame src links. WebCatalog see 4 commands: 1 for the master frame, and 3 $ShowPage commands, one for each of the subframes. This is really an HTML question more than a WebCatalog question, but it's easy to understand how people can get lost in all the templates.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
