texte = Well, I'll be happy to break the ice here and welcome the folks from StarNine. I'm still on beta15 of WebCat for Mac, using the plug-in. Everything is working quite well. There is one concern that I have that has been an ongoing issue since day one, and that is that if a visitor, for whatever reason, returns to the home page via the back button after they have been assigned a cart, they are then given a new one and any products in their shopping basket are effectively erased. I understand that this is primarily due to the limitations of HTML, and I have done everything I can do (I think) to allow them to navigate the site via links without having to return to the home page for anything, at least until they complete the order.I had assumed that this issue would be a concern in any online ordering system, but I checked out Peachpit Press's site last night, added a book to my order, backed all the way out to the home page, went back in and added another book, and my earlier selections were still there. They were not using WebCat; it appeared to be some kind of custom CGI, but in any case, wil there be any way in the future to enable a shopping cart to stick with a visitor, no matter what? Or am I missing something really obvious that I could add to my site to enable this? -- Gil Poulsen, Webmaster************************************************************** * AltiM@c * Phone: (908) 469-2567 * * 126 Jerome Avenue * FAX: (908) 469-5823 * * South Bound Brook, NJ * e-mail: help@altimac.com * * 08880-1111 * WWW: http://www.altimac.com * **************************************************************
