    How can I view the Shopping Cart from anywhere on the Internet?

    The page that shows a summary of the shopping cart details is actually displayed as a result of a call to an online Perl script in the cgi-bin directory.

    Go to your online website and click the 'view cart' button on the navigation bar. Even with nothing in your shopping cart, the address of the page in the 'Address' bar of your browser will be something like:
    HTML Code:
    http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART
    This link will work when the call has come from inside the 'acatalog' folder online, but it might not work from outside. If it doesn't, you will need to add an 'ACTINIC_REFERRER=' parameter that tells the browser where your 'acatalog' folder is. This is the 'Catalog URL' value, which can be seen in 'Web | Network Setup'.

    If your Catalog URL is 'http://your.URL/acatalog/' then the call to the shopping cart becomes:
    HTML Code:
    http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWCART&ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://your.URL/acatalog/
