Thank you both for the suggestions. In the end I decided to do away with passing in a name for the cart (since people only have one cart at a time, there really isn't a need to uniquely identify the cart).

The variable name is illegal. Variable names must start with a letter and can include only letters, numbers, and underscores. | --- | | Obviously I am passing in the name 'myCart' as an attribute to the custom tag. Any ideas why it won't let me set any values in the array? | | Much thanks, | Jared | | | ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
