texte = I can't say enough good things about Webcatalog. Designing sites is simplyso easy if you like text html!But if I am given just one area I'd be allowed to be critical of, it wouldbe shipping and tax calculations.I've now done 5 sites, actually had fun making them, right up to the end,when I have to write the business part.For some reason, Webcatalog just can't get out of it's own way when it comesto calculating the subtotal field. All of my sites calculate tax and shipping based on order total. I have NOneed to tie up two or three extra databases to look up things that arefigured in a calculation. And the sample sites that come with web catalogare NO help in this respect. Today's problem:shipCost [math][showif [subtotal]>20]1.00+[/showif][showif[subtotal]>40]1.00+[/showif][showif [subtotal]>60]1.00+[/showif][showif[subtotal]>80]1.00+[/showif][showif [subtotal]>100]1.00+[/showif][showif[subtotal]>130]1.00+[/showif][showif[subtotal]>160]1.00+[/showif]4.95[/math]Doesn't work. generates a nuber above $11.95 every time, even if the orderis for $1.00 (in which case the shipping would be $4.95)Please help.Brian B.
