numero = 38230
interpreted = N
texte = The plot thickens...We have two fields - a popup where the shopper chooses the credit card type ([card]; MC, Visa, Amerex) and a text field ([accountnum]).I notice that when the shopper chooses selections that are incompatible - say Visa for the card type and then enters a mastercard number, this error will be generated.Is this an undocumented error checking feature of WebCatalog or a bug? If this is not a bug, why does this happen when there is no [validcard] tag on the page?Will Starck NovaDerm skin care science http://www.novaderm.com support@novaderm.com 800-378-1740 ----- Original Message ----- From: Will Starck
