Even if they go to inconsequential pages. If the variable isn't passed through the link ie then it must be hidden in a form. When I develop webcat sites I take the easy way out and make my index page index.tmpl, then my cart gets assigned and all my links, unless they contain real webdna, look like this: links to the homepage look like: This way there is no opportunity for my shopper to exit the shopping cart and get assigned another number. This works on the mac if you are using a product like welcome clearlyhome or homedoor2.0. Be sure all of your pages have the tag or webcat won't know to process the page Robert Minor__________________________________________________________ CyberMill Website Designers & Publishers 8616 Joseph Ave St. Louis, MO 63144 voice 314-962-4024 email: webmaster@cybermill.com http://www.cybermill.com/ __________________________________________________________ We are not responsible for any misspelling or misinformation please check with your internet provider for defects.
