and it says:

Invalid tag nesting configuration.  
A query driven CFOUTPUT tag is nested inside a CFOUTPUT tag that also has a QUERY= attribute. This is not allowed. Nesting these tags implies that you want to use grouped processing. However, only the top-level tag can specify the query that drives the processing

with the error pointing to the <cfoutput query="loopproduct"> line

ok that gets me around the first problem, but for an extra 250 pts, can anyone tell me why the heck it is telling me a variable is undefined?  i will post the code for teh whole page, presumably it is the "subtotal" variable, but I can't figure it out for hte life of me.  Please ignore all very poorly formatted font tags.  THanks,

Not sure if this is going to be much help, but here is the error

I think the problem is in the <cfloop> for the session.  I don't think you can loop through session variables like that then have session.cart[i][1].  But,  I haven't worked with sessions alot so I would post another question or a pointer question to this one so other experts will look.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this one.
