cart quick view - good idea?

[faxof]

i'm in the midst of designing my website. i've made a shopping cart quick view.

i'm looking on advice on how useful it is.

if you hover over "view your cart" it should give you a brief of your card.

please take a look

any comments?

It's a good idea and it looks fine but you may want to think about using a CSS based popup rather than a JavaScript one for all those users without JS.

With all the Javascript in the site, including AJAX, I wouldn't worry about the Javascript view cart not working. If that doesn't work, there's a LOT more that won't be working for the viewer.

It seems handy to get a snapshot of the cart, but might be better if it was a mouseover or hover effect, rather than a 'stay there until I dismiss you' action, which is slightly annoying if you accidentally mouseover the link.

Other than that, a nice looking site, unfortunately ruined with spelling mistakes!

I'm sure you will have a go at making it validate before it goes live - see

Actually, it seems to degrade quite nicely. The reason I noticed it was a JavaScript popup was because I browsed to the site in the first place without JS enabled and couldn't see what the OP was talking about yet the rest of the site functioned fine. It was only when I enabled JS that I noticed the popup so as far as the site goes, it seems to work fine for users without JS apart from the popup cart which (if needed) could be fixed by using a CSS popup.
