[ic] 'buy now' not working properly

[Rick Boykin]

This one had me baffled till I discovered the stock demo store does not work
properly either:
Searched the archive, but don't really know what to search for.

Running Netscape 6.2 and IE 6.0 Under Winblows 2000 and Netscape 6.2 under
Mandrake....

You can try this on the interchange Demo Space 3 or Demo Space 1 on the
interchange web site. It is also broken in my cart, and probably many other
folks carts.

1) Load the home page. (http://demo.ic.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic3)
2) Select a category, such as brushes.
 Note: selecting 'buy now', right now, from an item in the category list
(results page) works fine. You end up back at that particular category
(results page) with a small cart at the top of the list. This is perfect.
Don't do this. Keep going....
3) navigate to an item. click one, say 'Hand Brush'.
4) hit the browser's back button.
5) try using the buy now of the item you just came back from (ie Hand
Brush). That item is in the category listing in the results page.

You end up back to that item's flypage. The item (count of them) is added to
the cart. But, at this point, you do not see the cart. You can see it later
if you navigate around. This seems a bit off and certainly confusing for
customers. I would imagine that the proper functionality is to take you to
the same place as described in the note above. It seems as though a variable
is getting set when navigating to the detailed item page (flypage) and not
getting reset when going back to the results page.

Anybody know what's going on here? Anybody care to help? I just keep
breaking things trying to fix it.

Thank You

Kind Regards
