Perhaps each sub-frame is >getting a different cart # because you're not using src=xx.tmpl?cart=[cart]> in the master frame container? Let me show you. Go to Click the enter button. You will see a framed page. Click and hold down anywhere in the right hand frame and select new window with this frame. View document source and take a look at the cart #. Hit reload and the cart will stay the same.Now, close that window and go back to the original framed page. View frame source for that same frame & look at the cart #. Now hit reload. When you view src again, that frame will have a different cart number.This is bad. What if someone has made a few additions to their cart and then (for whatever reason) hit the reload button? They have to start all over. You can see this same example at Am I not doing something right?--BenWebWright, Inc. Make a Presence.
