Shopping cart doesn't update

somewhere in your main template view, you need to have something like this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
base_url = '<?= base_url();?>';
//]]>
</script>

that way you can use base_url in your javascript as needed.

just need to check, is that what you have?

Yes, I have it but it seems it does nothing.

What works for me:

function jsUpdateCart()
..
url: "<?php echo site_url() . 'shop/ajax_cart';?>",
..

EDIT: i put the JS code in the template.php ..

EDIT2 : i use JQuery but with scriptaculous may seem like this, if you put the script in template.php file:

var ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
'ajax_msg', <?php echo site_url() . 'welcome/ajax_cart';?>, {method:'post',parameters:params,onComplete:showMe ssage}
);

trust me, 100% working this way

hi,
i have apatch 2.0.49 and the javascript code didnt worked till i added the base_url string , can you tell us what was your apatche version when you developed this project so we can test it without the base_url here,
thank you.

everything in it running ok javascript pases message to the shopping cart.php and message of update and deletation appears but page again gets refresh and <div id="ajax_msg"> this time appears to be blank any suggestion for stopping the update message to disappear.
