Placeholders
The shopping cart template uses placeholders. Placeholders are used for adding content to a webpage.
To use a placeholder, place the code into the part of your HTML where you would like it to appear.
Placeholders for within your <head>...</head> tags:
<!--$headcontent--> This contains the charset of the page, meta tags, base href and javascript taken out of header.php. You must use this commented format of $headcontent to keep the word "$headcontent" from displaying in your web authoring software and be replaced by the correct value.
NOTE: Do not put <title>...</title> tags in your header. It will be added as part of the $headcontent variable.
Placeholders for your shopping cart:
$content The main content of the page (middle of the page) is put in the $content tag. The content is the actual shopping cart area.
