interpreted = N
texte = >>NO. Not if you use [cart]! WebCat will always generate a unique value no>matter how many people hit the site at the same time.>Right, John, but the original question dealt with bookmarked pages or the Back button. I know that some claim to have seen non-unique cart numbers, but I trust WC enough not to worry about that.If Joe buys stuff, then copies a URL that contains a cart num and emails it to Ed, that could create a prob as soon as Ed tried to add stuff to a cart. That's why I recommended using [referrer] to test for that sorta thing.Of course, if Joe never adds anything to a cart, there's no prob.Right?Glenn-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
