Re: [item-list] Problem/Question

Miles,

	I worked through this same problem some months back. My best
explanation of what is going on is that the flypage is a special case.
Notice you don't have am [item-list][/item-list] container tag set on
this page, however you can use all the [item-list] bound tags. The
flypage acts as its own [item-list] and takes precedence. So if you
embed an additional [item-list] container on the page the container will
hold the same data as the flypage. 

	Now for the workaround. The solution I came up with was to put my
mini-cart display in a separate html page with other navigational
elements. Then use [include /your/page/path/here]. This parses with the
current cart contents gets inserted then the flypage is parsed. To see
an example point your browser to http://com1.ehg.net/cgi-bin/hgdev2

Happy Minivending
