A lot of work went in to creating the [cart] tag to work for any site, no matter how busy, to create a unique (to the server) cart ID. There is something wrong with the OP (original poster's) site or code, since cart=[cart] is the correct way to handle this. Reading between the lines, I'm guessing that the OP is using one of the prebuilt sites and just created a link "http://www.domain.com/index.tpl?cart=" without knowing what he was doing. This code http://www.domain.com/index.tpl?cart=[cart] will automatically assign a cart the first time it is hit. I believe leaving off the "[cart]" will assign a form variable named "cart" which will prevent the automatic code from working.
