Your missing the closing tag on the link (in red below)

<% If pcf_AddToCart(pIdProduct)=True Then %><a href="instPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>"><img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p>
<% Else %>
            <p class="pcShowProductLink"><a href="viewPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>&idcategory=<%=pIdCategory%>"> <img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p>    
<% End If %>

Just noticed that this code works only in FF, but not in IE.  Any ideas?
http://www.germanplaza.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=297
The idea is to have the add to cart on all products, even the apparel add ons.  This is so the customer does not think an item is out of stock, because they do not see the add to cart button.  Items without apparel add on will add the item directly to the cart, and the ones with apparel add on will go to the details page first. 
Below is the code used:

Find:

        <% If pcf_AddToCart(pIdProduct)=True Then %><p class="pcShowProductLink"><a href="instPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>"><img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p><% End If %>

Replace with:
<% If pcf_AddToCart(pIdProduct)=True Then %><a href="instPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>"><img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p>
<% Else %>
            <p class="pcShowProductLink"><a href="viewPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>&idcategory=<%=pIdCategory%>" <img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p>    
<% End If %>

Matt, I leave it up to you guys to post it into the WIKI.  I think a lot of PC users will like this simple adjustment.  Besides, you are the one that posted the original fix.  I just tweaked it a little.  Thanks for pointing me into the right direction if the first place.  I'm just so happy right now, and no more dump calls or emails asking when the items are back in stock.  Crazy that a little visual missing image can cause so much confusion among shoppers.  ]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:54:12 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13916.html#13916 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13915.html#13915 Author: Matt

I should have clarified the code I posted was for v4.  You did good adjusting it for v3.  Just note it will need updated for the SEO module (for anyone using that)]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:31:32 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13915.html#13915 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13914.html#13914 Author: katharina

Well, that is way beyond my ASP knowledge.  Newer learned ASP, just C over 15 years ago.  I just looked at the code in the pcShowProductH.asp file you mentioned and kind of copied it.   Simply tried to make sense out of what I saw.  It's version 3.51.  Perhaps someone else can give a better code segment.  For now I'm happy, because there is no fake button which returned be back to the category.  Which makes the customer wonder what is going on.   Now it goes to the product details page, and gives the apparel choices.  It looks better that way on the site, and I don't get confused customers.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:26:19 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13914.html#13914 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13913.html#13913 Author: Matt

Hi Katharina,

The code I posted works on our v4 SP3 demo store.  You replaced the product details variable with the hard coded page name.  It is fine, but it will not work with the SEO module.

Matt, thanks for the code.  It was almost right.  I did change it a little bit, and it works.  That's from someone who does not know ASP.  LOL  So now when you have apparel add one products you will see a link from the "Add to cart" image to the product details page.  That will fix the issue of customers thinking the items are out of stock, since it shows an add to cart button.  Can someone please confirm that the code is correct from it's syntax.  It does work so I think it is ok.

However, the general idea is to add an "Else" statement.  Here is an example using the horizontal product view "pcShowProductH.asp".

Find:

        <% If pcf_AddToCart(pIdProduct)=True Then %><p class="pcShowProductLink"><a href="instPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>"><img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p><% End If %>

Replace with:
<% If pcf_AddToCart(pIdProduct)=True Then %><a href="instPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>"><img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p>
<% Else %>
            <p class="pcShowProductLink"><a href="viewPrd.asp?idproduct=<%=pIdProduct%>&idcategory=<%=pIdCategory%>" <img src="<%=rslayout("add2")%>" alt="<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_altTag_2")& pDescription %>"></a></p>    
<% End If %>

"add to cart" linked to the viewprd.asp instead of the instprd.asp.

Fakie because the customer assumes it will function like the rest of the add to cart buttons.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 15:53:05 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13911.html#13911 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13910.html#13910 Author: katharina

I guess one that links you to the product details page.  PC needs it.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 15:52:00 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/add-to-cart-problem_topic3595_post13910.html#13910
