Re: OS X problem: when using [ShowCart] or [orderfile]...

texte = I hear you, but I'm not using any 'special' tags, just search, orderfile, It is kind of spooky, makes me wonder what the heck is going on. I spent a good 4+ hours on that one problem, going over the code, running it on 8.6/WebTen and OS X. Failed consistently on OS X. It would not give me any errors but would only return the values of the variables from the cart as empty, but the cart was fine, still where it was supposed to be. I'd hit the back button to right before the search and could browse the rest of the site just fine. Well anyway I think some time next week if I have a little more time I'm going to jump back into it.> From: Kenneth Grome
