I have been looking through the forum for some code or directions on how to modify my cart. I haven't seen any postings regarding this.

Customers add product to their cart and hit the continue shopping button only to return to the home page or default.asp.

How do I change that so they return back to the prior page or area in the category they were previously viewing?

One option is to locate the code on the viewcart.asp page that displays "continue shopping" and alter it to have a javascript back reference.

Another alternative is this:

I've been using Greg's Add to Cart Confirmation for some time now and it's works flawlessly.

The ATC mod and Session Saver are both very popular.

ok, I just happen to be upgrading a site where I had installed the "javascript back" code. If you want this instead of my mod, which obviously I consider a solution, here ya go:

The unaltered code is around line 340 of viewcart.asp

<a href="javascript: history.go(-1)"><img src="<%=RSlayout("continueshop")%>" border="0"></a>

My 2 cent: I would go with Greg's 'Add To Cart' module....
Absolutely worth the small fee!
It gives such a nicer / more professional look to it and perfect functionality and is with his manual super easy to implement.
And that's not even mentioning the aw-some support he gives with his products!
