I'm starting to think it's a timing issue, maybe I've been lucky to have 
things working so far. I still don't understand this whole getCart 
versus getCart() thing, maybe it's something fundamental that I'm missing.

How do I ensure the function getCart() is called after everything is 
loaded, maybe that will give me an insight.

Thanks
