Is it the same cart number as the cookies or 1 greater? It's the same as the cookie. First, I simply tried setting the cookie to equal [cart]. hen THAT didn't match the actually cart number, I tried setting it as a varaible first - I tried it as math and as text. Didn't matter. The first time the cart is set on that page, it is one less than the actual cart number. > > Just sounds like your cart isn't setting properly before the cookie, > and I'm assuming that using [cart] in a cookie wont set it either - so > it isn't getting set until after the setcookie code. That's what it would seem like to me, too, but since I *do* get a cart value for my cookie, this doesn't make sense. > > What happens if you throw a plain "[cart]" at the top of the page for > testing purposes? > > GJK Good idea. I'll try this and report back Monday. Thanks for the help, guys.
