Hard to say.
What does your custom tag do?
Where does your id variable come from?
Is it possible for your submit button to have a value other than "Add to
Cart"? If not, why is a variable?
Where does your firstletter variable come from?
What is the nature of the error you are getting?

If your code is a direct paste then your missing a closing bracket for the cfif
<cfif len(id)

What does your custom tag do? The result of a query is added to a list while
the user looks for other data to add.
Symptoms: click on A get results - choose appropriate reults - click add -
click back - new search - add results and so on
Where does your id variable come from?
Is it possible for your submit button to have a value other than "Add to
Cart"? i hope to label it add to symptom list - this value is as is - found a
tutorial
If not, why is a variable?

Where does your firstletter variable come from? What do you mean by this
question? Data source? Sorry still very new to the game

What is the nature of the error you are getting? I use a Japanese OS so
basically the error is something to do with a piece of code or lack of it in
line 13 (vague? sorry will look again)

Thank for taking the time to write out questions - i can see the process
though which I have to go through to solve problems
Problame is not really sure what i am doing

Step by step
Thank you all

I assume that you have fixed this, but just in case

<cfif len(id)

should be

<cfif len(id)>

Although, I'm not really sure that this is what you want.
This basically says if the length of the id is greater than zero do what's in
the cfif
So if the id was 100 for example then the length is 3 and if the id is zero
then then length is 1 and the cfif would be performed.

T o be honest scarecrow im new to the game - just trying to be able add
something to a list while a user makes other choices and also adds these - i

go about it
any ideas?
thanks for your time

i m trying to connect a check box and the add button

I assume you need to access the value of the checkbox after the form is
submitted.

You need to check if the field is defined

<cfif IsDefined("form.myCheckBox")>
do what you need here
</cfif>
