$cPath and Firfox

[sitehatchery.com]

If you go to fashionablydressed.com and try to pull up a list of products in Internet Explorer, you sill see that the cPath is the page number, followed by a "_", followed by the number of products on the page. But, if you pull it up in Firefox, it only shows a number without a "_". This is a problem, because it doesn't know which products to display and therefore in Firefox, no products are displayed.

 

The area of concern is the $cPath variable. for some reason in Firefox it's not setting the $cPath right. I don't know how to fix this. Any fixes out there? Why would this happen?

It was not cpath at all. It was the fact that firefox is more strict than IE with CSS. Firefox just freaked out and did not display the product. It's fixed now.

FYI, as far as I have derived thru looking at code, cPath does not indicate the number of products on the page (even after the "_"). It is a chain of categories to get to the current subdirectory in your product hierarchy. So cPath=24_53_62 would refer to category 24 (as it is indexed in the database), under which is sub-category 53, under which is sub-sub-category 62, then the selected product from there. This correlates to the breadcrumb trail.
