[Seems like a critical ingredient...] Yes, StoreBuilder has been upgraded in CICADA, but not re-written. It still uses tables and still has some questionable code design, but a lot of the issues (element case/mismatch problems, function bugs etc..) have been fixed in 6.1. Within EDC (My own business), I have modified installs of it many times for clients to extend the CSS usage, and minimalize the table usage.. You don't have to use the frame options it provides. It works without them. Regarding WSC re-writing it... Maybe, but not in the near future. The reasons are: 1.) It's not that difficult to "roll your own". 2.) One can create a full CSS store front-end and then use the "back-office" features/logic (WebMerchant) as a base for the back-end booking if they like. 3.) The versatility that I stated above. 4.) We have other much more important priorities to accomplish at this time with our limited resources. ..Hope that lets you know where we are on that. It is still a good resource for sites that need to go up on a budget. And, it is still a good resource to reference to help with designing your own solutions. Donovan -- Donovan D.
