Use them or don't use them to your preference.. but why rewrite or deprecate the functions? Why not improve them? If you don't like the orderfile, add an option flag that uses WebDNA databases instead. They are both ram-resident flat text files however, so it doesn't matter to me. Also, I'm not sure if you know what the term deprecate means Chris.. undocumenting is just about the very definition of the term. Really, if Stuarts site was based off the commerce tags would that make you like the commerce tags better?.. because there is no reason it couldn't be. What is going to make you people realize that the commerce tags are just fine and just need a little support to improve them? Yes, StoreBuilder is outdated, but people can still build a shopping cart with options for taking payments in 5 minutes.. That is a system which has had very little updates since before the millennium. It just needs to be redone using CSS, WebDNA contexts as apposed to commands, and some pretty Jquery and minimial other stuff and you'd have a contemporary StoreBuilder. O.K., that's all I have to say on that... been up all night coding. Donovan -- Donovan Brooke Euca Design Center www.euca.us
