Question

What does the following error on the lite version of CactuShop mean?

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch
/CactuShopLite/includes/initialize.asp, line 27

How can I fix it?

Answer

This is a problem with session variables timing out. The full version of the cart uses cookies to store cart details - these never time out and have other advantages too.

On the lite version, this error sometimes gets cached in your browser if the cart session times out. Refreshing the page normally clears the problem, but will delete all items from the cart.

This is why we use the more robust cookie system on the full version. You can see from our online demo that this doesn't happen with the full version, regardless of how long you are inactive on a page.
