Webcat never uses alpha characters in its cart values (yet, but who knows what they are going to change in the future?) so until they change the rules in this feature, the same *original* cart value can be used over and over again with no problem.2- Use a different method than [cart] for your shopping cart system. I'm developing an ip address based system that will no longer require us to put cart=[cart] in all our links and forms. No it's not finished yet ... ================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
