texte = I have been using a cookie based system for passing the cart value.I could see building a system that would page per page check for the cookie, and if it does not exist add it to the form or any link on the page. If I was doing this, I might build a function that would create my links and forms, that way I could just call the function and have the function determine whether or not it needed to add the cart=[cart] to either the URL or the form.
