Re: [cart]=

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 58530
interpreted = N
texte = I'm reading this to mean that if a visitor removes the actual cart number, taking the url down to just cart= that you have problems. Yes, if they then go to that url (not refresh). You lose the cart. Not sure why a person would do that, but never underestimate the site visitors. I always put [showif [raw][cart][/raw]=[cart]][redirect http://www.domain.com][/showif] at the top of all of my checkout pages to redirect a visitor back to the homepage if they've somehow lost their cart (cart=[raw][cart][/raw]). In your case, I guess you'd also need a [showif [raw][cart][/raw]=][redirect http://www.domain.com][/showif] to accomplish the same thing. All links coming from the home page will then reassign a new cart. Again, yes the customer will have lost their cart, but there's nothing else you can do except to always pass links in a form method=post.
