Question:
Can the Dansie Shopping Cart work on a website with frames?

Answer:
Yes! Here is the key to using frames with your Dansie Shopping Cart:

1. Set HV#2 to a URL that does NOT load frames.
2. Set HV#12 to a URL that DOES load frames.
3. Leave HV#11 blank.

4. Make sure all your URLs in your "return" tags are a to a page that does NOT load frames.
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=return VALUE="http://www.YourName.com/rightframe.html">

5. If you want an <A HREF> link or a FORM's purchase button to load the cart in a different frame, then set the TARGET attribute to the name of the frame you want the cart to load in. Example:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.YourName.com/cgi-bin/cart.pl" TARGET="right_frame">

6. Do not use TARGET attributes in a frame in which you want the cart to load in the same frame. Example:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.YourName.com/cgi-bin/cart.pl">

The names of your frames are in the parent page that loads them. If you are not sure what the name of your frames are, ask your webmaster.
