Re[2]: shipCost -vs- shippingtotal ?

texte = A context fires at the point on the page where WebCat reaches it; i.e. if you have 7 add contexts, they fire 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 in order down the page. This is useful since you can add something at the top of a page, display it in the middle, and delete it at the bottom (note that though this is incredibly neat, though I have not thought of a use for it yet ;).A command fires before the top of the linked page. So you can have a link which adds a line to the shopping cart, then use a search context on the page to locate the detail information from another database entirely based on the lines that are now in the shopping cart.At the point that a context appears in the source code, all form variables passed from the previous page, as well as any text or math variables defined higher on the page are in force during the context. Note, if you are unwise and chose a fieldname or math/text variable that is the same as a WebCat context or parameter name, you may have some problems. See the discussion several weeks ago regarding Ken's use of the math variable name max and the search context.HTHJohn Peacock ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: shipCost -vs- shippingtotal ?

Because with a command the form vars haven't been passed yet at the time the add happens...? Or does the add command happen 'on the next page' after form vars have arrived? Or did you mean the form vars from the PREVIOUS page are available...?See my Q? I want to know the rules, not just the outcome of a test which may not be comprehensive because I didn't know what were all the possibilities.jpeacock@univpress.com wrote:> I believe that all of the formvars that are available at the time the formula is > calculated, ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
