OK, Im no genius but this should be easy; here is the code in my custom cart (which is just a copy of modern-sc.sst).

<div id="headlinks">

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.write("here " + ss_ordernum);
</script>

If I hardcode a value for x (like x-5), it works great...shows up in the header links. ANY reference to an ss_ variable yields nothing.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

btw, I am using the Manager version, not Pro. Is this the problem?

What version NUMBER of ShopSite Manager are you using, and what shopping cart screen is your JavaScript on?

ShopSite Manager has only had JavaScript variables available since v8.1, and only 3 of them (ss_ordernum, ss_ordertotal, ss_subtotal), and these are only available on the Thank You screen. See the Manager doc at:

http://www.shopsite.com/help/10.0/en-US/sc/mgr/cart.variables.html

Even in ShopSite Pro the ss_ordernum variable will only be on the Thank You screen, simply because the order number is not reserved for the order until the order is complete.

Shopesite v10 is what I am using.

What I really want access to the the ss_sku array so I can add some logic in the body of my cart to handle some conditional cases...

for example is I see a sku coming into the cart with a CNN_ as a preamble I would like to pre-fill or change some cart selections. An example might be to hide the Payment selector with some automated billing info for a customer who has prearranged open PO's with us.

Since I can't have more than one cart, I am trying to make cart changes based on items in the ss_sku array.

At the top of the help screen titled "Shopping Cart JavaScript Variables" it states:
(http://www.shopsite.com/help/10.0/en-US ... ables.html)

"All information about products in the shopping cart is available in the form of JavaScript variables in the <head> section of all shopping cart pages. The billing and shipping addresses are also available as JavaScript variables on the Thank You screen. You can add JavaScript code to the built-in validation code, or call custom scripts on other parts of the screens."

The variables I want access to are listed in the Pre-Poduct Variables section which should be avail before the Thank You screen, I think. This should include the ss_sku[] array etc.

Am I reading this wrong?

You are reading it wrong in the sense that the documentation you are looking at is for ShopSite Pro, not ShopSite Manager. The ShopSite Manager doc is where I listed it previously:

http://www.shopsite.com/help/10.0/en-US/sc/mgr/cart.variables.html

If you want to use the product arrays, then you will need to upgrade to a ShopSite Pro license.

Ah, thought that might be biting me...

Well I guess I can do some DOM surfing using the cart_sku.innerHTML data to find out and then go make changes....such a rough way to do it though...very reactionary.

or upgrade...

Thanks
