An update to this issue...it was simple enough to include the necessary JavaScript on each page by adding: {include file="form_validation_js.tpl"} to /cart/home.php .

That still didn't solve the problem.

The reason the Javascript alert works on the individual detail pages is that there is only one form on these pages and its name is "orderform" and that is picked up by the "document.orderform.amount.value" in the FormValidation() function.

The reason its not working on the catagory pages that list multiple products, is that there is a different form for each product. Each one has a different name that is dynamically created and is something like "orderform_16152_1154021436". The Javascript FormValidation() function will only be triggered on forms named "orderform".

Anyway, if anyone has an idea how to handle this wrinkle, I would appreciate it as I am stuck at this point.
