// Change log
// 2.2.0 - Updated the jQuery library to 1.11.1.  It was time.  1.4.2 is ancient history, and 1.4.2 had a funky
// version of jQuery.getJSON, which storeCard() uses.  So it's time to update.
// Added the storeCard method to upload the credit card number automatically to the token server.
// The example library now uses json2.js instead jquery-json.
//
// 2.1.9 Added method to remove an item at an index instead of by item id.  This will
// prevent the removal of other items by the same item id.  Also, the add items will
// now compare the existing items and if the items match based on item id *AND* options,
// then the quantity is incremented instead of creating a separate line item.
//
// 2.1.8 This change came direct from Capital Media.  Here's their change log:
//We've modified version 2.1.7 of the API so that field IDs are no longer
//hard-coded. This meant modifying the ucPopulateFieldElements function so
//that it would accept the config variable as a parameter. This change should
//be backwards compatible, and would makes sense to incorporate in version
//2.1.8 of the API. Here are the changes:
//
//*Line 639:*
//Passing *config* as a parameter to ucPopulateFieldElements
//
//*Line 718:*
//Updated ucPopulateFieldElements to accept *config* as a parameter
//
//*Line 727:*
//Using config.cartFieldMapping, rather than a hard coded string in
//getElementById
//
//*Line 740:*
//Using config.cartFieldMapping, rather than a hard coded string in
//getElementById
//
//*Line 750:*
//Using config.cartFieldMapping, rather than a hard coded string in
//getElementById
//
//*Line 758:*
//Using config.cartFieldMapping, rather than a hard coded string in
//getElementById
//
// 2.1.7 Added header caching statement to ajax call to prevent iPad from caching getCart calls.
// 2.1.6 fixed incorrect field name on lastShippingEstimate.  (Thanks Capital Media!)
// 2.1.5 replaced jQuery-json plugin with Crockford's json2.js implementation.  The new implementation should be faster given the
// native use if available.
// 2.1.4 Fix for applyGiftCertificate().  It was not updating the internal cart variable with the return value
// 2.1.3 Added an override to the return parameter used in checkout(). If there are errors, we were just redirecting back
//       to document.URL.  But, if the page uses query parameters to add product on the initial load, we don't want that url
//       to be redisplayed, adding more product.
// Example Usage: ultraCart.init({thisPageUrl: location.protocol + '//' + location.hostname + location.pathname}); // there would normally be other config parameters here...
// 2.1.2 Added a config option to disable shipping calls for those carts that are virtual only.  The config option is 'disableShippingCalls'
// 2.1.1 Added a check in ucPopulateFieldElements to see if the credit card types is a select box or not.  some recent
// sites are getting fancy with the card types and don't use a drop down.  If that's the case, the card type logic is
// skipped over.
// 2.1.0
// Bug fixes.  Most importantly, updateCart now precedes the call to estimateShipping in
// ucUpdateShippingMethodsForAddressChange()
// Also, set flag doNotNotify during the cart update after saving off the email.  Before, saving off the email was
// firing a cart change which was making a useless call to estimateShipping
//
// 2.0.12
// added setAffiliateId(cart, affiliateId, subId) the API
// added the array prototypes needed to shove countries to the top of the list so US or Canada can appear at the top of an otherwise alphabetical listing.
// getParameter() and getParameterValue() are now case-insensitive
// 2.0.11
// added config section 'parameter mapping' to allow query parameters to map to cart objects.  useful for affiliate tracking.
// 2.0.10
// added config.useCheapestShipping to select the first shipping method in the list (allows for hiding of shipping choices altogether
// 2.0.9
// Removed cache prevention on the installation check.  wasn't needed.
// 2.0.8
// saveFieldElements: changed the checkbox behavior to avoid getting 'undefined' as a value.
// added check for correct configuration in the case of null carts.


// Add String helper method to the string object to make life easier.
