[development] How can I refer to the shopping cart using document.getElementById if it does not have an id?

Wed Feb 2 22:48:00 UTC 2011

Regarding the below email:

No I don't have any JS errors in my firebug console.  I am not aggregating
my JS or CSS.  Yes my CSS files aren't loading.  Keep in mind that I have an
iframe within my drupal page which is not drupal and is on another domain.
The user clicks an "Add to Cart" link within this iframe which points to the
parent drupal domain in order to do the "add to cart" update and the target
within the link is target = "_hidden" so that the page is not refreshed.
Everything works in that the page does not get refreshed and an item is
added to the cart but you can't see the cart number and cart total refresh
within the browser.  I already have a way of updating these two objects via
ajax but the problem is that DOM is never loaded so that even if I have the
values to put in (based on an ajax request) these objects since they have
not been loaded they can't be updated.

Other than doing page refresh which I don't want to do.  Does anyone have
any suggestions?

Thanks,

John
