The problem is that certain kinds of shopping carts have certain peculiar needs that must be accommodated. For example, a shopping cart for pharmaceuticals requires authentication and identification of the visitor before serving the "products" available to the visitor and specific to the visitor (their prescriptions); the jewelry shopping cart I'm building will enable automatic pricing updates based on the spot prices of the various metals. I've realized that I can call specific programs from the pages where these special functionalities will need to be incorporated and then programmatically do the necessary. Of course, I can pass the page name as a parameter, but that's not elegant. TIA, V
