texte = Hi All!I'm changing my WebCat site to use frames but the home page is still frameless and links from there are to framed pages. I'm losing my cart numbers (or they're changing) when I go through a transaction using the framed pages. The Smith Micro Knowledge Base had a reference page to this but the very piece of information I needed was omitted from the page!?! I included a copy of the text from that knowledge base file below. The FRAME SRC example I need is completely missing!Does anyone know the correct FRAME SRC link to use in the frameset page so the cart number follows from the first click? I tried this:(for the leftFrame): src=fr_insert.tpl?cart=[cart](for the mainFrame): src=prodindex.tpl?cart=[cart]Didn't work, cart number changed as soon as I clicked on any link on prodindex.tpl (target is: mainFrame).Thanks, any help is appreciated!Mike> From WebCatalog Knowledge Base: > > Why are my customers loosing their [cart] numbers or shopping cart items? > (Ref. #990919-0043) > > Description: > > Why is the cart number changing when users move from page to page or frame to > frame? > > Solution: > > WebCatalog knows to create a unique cart number the first time a browser > requests a page that contains a [cart] tag, but if you want this cart number > to stay with the browser, you must put &cart=[cart] in all the subsequent > links they will follow.
