texte = Art, understand that [formvariables] does *not* ever add anything to the cart file. You use [addlineitem] or the Add command to do that. Code nested within a [formvariables] context will execute as many times as there are unique formvariables that have come into the page via the URL (...&someVar=xxx) or via a form that has been submitted (get or post method) - and the resulting HTML of all those loops thru [formvariables] will be returned to the browser. So you could use [addlineitem] *within* [formvariables] if you want the [addlineitem] to happen as many times as there are formvariables. Each loop thru the innards of the [formvariables] context will have available the name and value of the formvariable 'responsible for that current loop'.SM has made popular (via storebuilder code) the technique of using [formvariables] in conjunction with other contexts to do more than simply list the names and values of the formvariables coming into the page (which is the most basic use of the [formvariables] context).How'd I do?:-)-JohnArturo Vargas wrote:> can I use it to add more than one item to the shopping cart at the same time > then? > > Art. > > -----Original Message----- > From: WebCatalog Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On > Behalf Of Kenneth Grome > Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 5:02 PM > To: WebCatalog Talk > Subject: Re: form variables > > >I have been trying to understand what [FormVariables] does and even though > >I have read the example over and over I can' seem to understand. > >Can some one put if in better words than the web cat page? > > It lists the formvariables that have been passed to the current page > from the previous page. > > ================================ > Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant > 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net > ================================ > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list . > To unsubscribe, E-mail to: > To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to > > Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list . > To unsubscribe, E-mail to: > To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to > Web Archive of this list is at: http://search.smithmicro.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
