Magento is great in practice, but I've found that the only big thing about it for my customers is the admin facilities. But for a designer it's a lot of hard work. I've seen some fantastic examples of what can be done with Magento and there have been some great features that use jQuery (by far the easiest javascript ever!). Now that Magento is completely released the main updates will come from people like us who will develop something for a client and share it with the community. If you'd like someone to bounce ideas around with please feel free to contact me off list.

I failed to mention, it's for Magento project, which inline scripting and prototype are heavily used. I'd been working on various Magento themes that I have made lots of effort to make the markup more semantically sounds, and stripped out all inline styles, but eliminating inline scripting and prototype (magento has written its own scripts that also rely on prototype script) isn't something that can be easily done even for a proficient js programmer - I guess it needs a full house of web developers. There were talk about developing jQuery extension for Magento in the Magento community, and that hopefully one day those who are favor for jQuery will have alternative choice - it dies immediately as nobody wants to make effort but expect someone else do it for them, for free. Can't blame them, it's just human nature. Anyway, I'd been learning jQuery for a while and have implemented a few jQuery features to my themes. Also, just now I was very please to see jQuery launches a new site. I am however, would like to hear from other members who have been working on Magento to give some feedback how/if they have made improvement on accessibility. tee On Aug 30, 2008, at 6:37 PM, Anthony wrote: > First of all try to avoid in-line scripting.
