It will only work when enclosed in an [item-list][/item-list], and there 
needs to be at least one item in the cart, and presumably it would need to 
have an existing value for quickorder, and UserModifer quickorder needs to 
be in catalog.cfg (and the catalog needs to be reconfiged). Have you met 
all those condititions?
