Smart cart empty cart display

Smart cart empty cart display

I am currently having an issue with the smartcart plugin and im hoping someone has an answer for me.

If you look at the demo page:

you will notice that the shopping cart is empty by default (makes sense) however if you add then remove an item text shows up saying " Your Cart is Empty!". How can I make that message display by default?

The JS code:

Im assuming its something to do with:
  1. }else{
  2.           // Cart is empty
  3.           $ol.html(options.emptyCartLabel);
  4.         }
Somehow it doesn't detect that the cart is empty by default?

Thankyou for your help!
