I also wanted to bring up another thought on Dynamic vs. Static use of Links, when you mentioned above about the quantity being only 1 and getting dropped as an example of good dynamic usage, I also coded in a way to make it work on static pages! Using SSI's it sort of works like Links 2's Hits tracking where you create a file for each Links qty and then include it where ever you want to display the number in stock, I never got around to actually getting a Cart installed nevermind getting it to rewrite the stockqty_<%ID%>.txt files whenever an item is bought, but that wouldn't be too hard to make a cart do, it's just the idea of it may be useful to others.
