I am using an IFRAME to display an ecommerce site. The shopping cart functionality is not working in IE. When you add something to the cart then click "continue shopping," the contents of the cart are erased. Also when you try to change quantities, the code breaks.

It is working fine in Firefox. Is there any way to work around this shopping cart problem while still being able to use an IFRAME. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

First you need to look at the back-end of your shopping cart. What variable is issued to preserved the state of your shopping cart: session ID, Cookie, Session variable.
Then, is the content of the IFRAME from the same domain name as the main container of the browser window?
"Also when you try to change quantities, the code breaks.":
What does the error message say?
