"Show Thumbnail Include Code" generates SHTML code which is generated dynamically by taking the current information from the shopping cart items. The advantage to using SHTML code is that it automatically updates your items and categories on your webpage as you update those items/categories in your shopping cart. This saves you time in having to update information in 2 different places. "Show Thumbnail Html" generates standard HTML code which would need to be updated if your items change. The advantage to using standard HTML is that it does allow for additional customization of the look of the items. Typically this option is used by web designers who have had experience with manipulating HTML. |
