How would it work in the above scenario. would I need to create a special folder for it? ie cart/placeholder.tpl and have webmerchant deliver a cart/cart.html page?In my scenario I would need to have webcat process html also, I saw that as a simple solution but if i can get webmer to create a tpl that would be better.Robert Minor__________________________________________________________CyberMill Website Designers & Publishers8616 Joseph AveSt. Louis, MO 63144voice 314-962-4024email: webmaster@cybermill.comhttp://www.cybermill.com/__________________________________________________________We are not responsible for any misspelling or misinformationplease check with your internet provider for defects.
