Re: Adding item to basket without displaying basket page

That is the way I'm doing it with the special page I've created.. problem is, I can't
return to the page I'm on using something like [area [item-code]] because MV looks for
a page called "http://www.blah.com/cgi-bin/.....etc" and doesn't find it.  Is there a
way to force it to parse the URL, or something?
