Hhm, pretty neat idea. I wonder if customers see it up there though....took me a little while to locate it even knowing it was there somewhere, I guess I am too used to the typical "Keep Shopping" button and just didn't see it. You have me thinking though.....would be really neat to have a Keep Shopping button that when the customer clicked it would ask where they want to go and present the list. With CFWebstore I tend to just rely on having navigation from the product pages back to whatever categories they were in, plus typical breadcrumb navigation (and some other possibilities). In the absence of a system like the one mentioned above, I think it's the best way to do it. Whatever method you use you want the customer to easily be able to get back to the same product (in case they want to order additional items in other colors/sizes/etc.) but not make it hard for them to get back to the category they were on either. -------------------- Mary Jo Sminkey http://www.cfwebstore.com CFWebstore, ColdFusion E-commerce ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:251459 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
