OK, one last question, can i use this with my existing host? media temple [url]http://mediatemple.net/[/url] ?
Hello Zehn,
[quote name=‘zehn’]OK, one last question, can i use this with my existing host? media temple [url]http://mediatemple.net/[/url] ?[/QUOTE]
Best way is to ask to your hosting company. Or try CS-Cart demo on it.
[quote name=‘zehn’]OK, so if i purchase the cart today, will i be able to upgrade to Version 2 whenever it is released? or will i have to buy another license?[/QUOTE]
Yes, I think so. If you buy right now, you will be able to upgrade to Version 2 for free.
But, for a real good official answer, ask to CS-Cart team here:

Hurry up! CS-Cart 2.0 is coming soon:

How does CS-Cart upgrade policy evolve? Will be the same?

The pages in css may be faster to load, but its not compatible with all browsers,
TO implement new skins it is much better to use tables or a combination with tables and divs rather then 100% divs. It will eventually loose you lots of money.
In my opinion css for layouts suck and I hope that they make an option to inplement table views instead of only div layouts.

Also if the makers made the css code compatible with level 2.1, it will make things lots easier.i

You can check amazon.com and it’s 100% div+css based. There is no comopatible problem in browsers with 100% div+css!
Ok, I’ve been reading this post every once in awhile and think it’s quite interesting…and proves the point of how “dis-information” is taken literally and propagated as “truth”…
[QUOTE]You can check amazon.com and it’s 100% div+css based. There is no comopatible problem in browsers with 100% div+css![/QUOTE]
Amazon.com is NOT 100% div+css, just right click and “View Source”
Myth Buster #1 - “Tables are slower than divs-css”
a. Ok, they “might” be if you are using 100’s of tables that are nested on one page. But who does that?
b. If you can “see” the difference please let me know because there isn’t a human being on the face of this earth that can actually see a difference between loading a table and loading a div. The only difference is the way in which they are parsed.
Myth Buster #2 - “you should ALWAYS use 100% div-css”
a. NO you should not, there should always be a reasonble mixture depending on the type of content you are displaying and how you want it displayed.
When displaying “tabular” data you are ALWAYS better off using tables. That is what they were designed/implemented for. Tables got “out of hand” because designers saw them as a great way to layout their entire website (whoops!).
The use of CSS was never meant to display tabular data, it wasn’t designed for that because TABLES were.
Myth Buster #3 - “website optimization websites are accurate”
LOL, sorry to break anyone’s paradigm here…but that just isn’t true at all. The speed of your website is based on so many other variables that are just impossible to calculate and average.
Use the website optimization websites to get a good idea of how your website is performing and make adjustments as necessary, but don’t take it too literally…because that performance “speed” isn’t what everyone is experiencing at all.
I know most everyone will disagree and I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion (regardless of facts 
…but if you have been around as long as I have you know what TABLES are/were supposed to be used for and what CSS is used for…and there is rarely an instance that you should do without one and/or the other.
Have Fun!
Hi WebGuy, I think 100% div+css I’ve mentioned above means the layout and appearance. It’s extremely complex to use table to layout the page like products list.
Hope you understand my point.
CS Cart 2.0 is failing HTML validation in many areas. Default skins do not validate because of imporoper nesting of blockquotes and non existent attribute template=“” There must be a better way to handle themes. And since 1.5.3 the page bloat is huge. I really don’t understand the need to modify and manage template design via an admin interface. It causes unecessary bloat and would love to see a stripped down skin and admin for developers that are serious about the front end quality of HTML, CSS, and JS.
