[wtkagb]

cart will not update unless you refresh the page or move to another page.

How do i get it to update as soon as an item is added?

OK so we have to guess. It is most probably a JavaScript conflict.

See http://www.ehow.com/how_6002923_diagnose-problems-javascript.html  and   https://getfirebug.com/errors

It says it cannot read 'settings' in line 66 of \components\com_virtuemart\assets\js

65 var txt = form.find(".pname").val()+' '+vmCartText;
66 $.facebox.settings.closeImage = closeImage;

Unfortunately this is an area that I am not very familial with

There is a Javascript conflict with your template. You are loading the VirtueMart jQuery OK but then you have this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/Joomla15/templates/sportissimo/js/jquery.js"></script>         
<script type="text/javascript" src="/Joomla15/templates/sportissimo/js/superfish.js"></script>       

That is another jQuery library and also for superfish there have been a couple of reports of this confflicting with VM.

Suggest you try the removing the jQuery load from your template and see if that works.

many thanks for the info, but unfortunately I do not understand this as I do not have much experience of JS, where/how do i remove  jQuery load from template

[jenkinhill]

Locate the code loading the script and remove it or comment it out. In simple templates the code will be in the template's index.php  - or ask the template supplier.

Instead of editing you could possibly use jQuery Easy to control script loading.
