I know of several ways to solve this situation, none perfect. We
need more information on the navigation method, though, before
we can go further. If you want them to be able to random_access
search pages on Minivend [more-list] things, it would be quite
difficult to do. 

There is a simple method which relies on JavaScript:

	[set combine]
	    mv_order_quantity==[cgi mv_order_quantity]
	[/set]
	[search-region]
	[search-list]
	<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="[process]">
	<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=refresh>
	<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_click VALUE=combine>
	<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="ord/silentbasket">
	<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="[item-code]">
	<INPUT NAME=mv_order_quantity
		onChange="this.form.submit()"
		SIZE=3
		VALUE="">
	</form>
	[/search-list]
	[/search-region]

Then put in pages/ord/silentbasket.html

[tag op=header]
Status: 204 Not modified
[/tag]

The effect of this is that every time the user changes the quantity
of the box, that number of that widget gets placed in the cart.
The ord/nobasket page returns a 204 status, so no page refresh
is done.
