Hi Exson,

Well, I only have little experience with jQuery - but to my mind it lends itself
well to writing progressive apps that have a nice fall back to php. The jQuery
script can sit at the beginning of the script almost independent of the rest of
the code and we just need to worry about naming the various html tags and
perhaps some more css to make it sing.

I probably have quite a bit of learning to do Exson, so happy to take on board
any pointers on why you say that progressive php => jQuery is not compatible
with each other? The work I have done allows the script to run fine without
javascript and with fall back error checks back on the server - but with
javascript available takes advantage of the jQuery traps. Neither has the work
I've done been very labour intensive - although debugging jQuery really does
need firebug. It seems pretty straightforward to me  - I will write up a script
with what I am proposing.. so we can throw around some ideas on how we can use
it. (AJAX with jQuery is a breeze too - with my cart I do searches via AJAX -
but the fall back remains to go back to the server also)

I am NOT keen to reinvent webERP with any other coding style - this would be for
some other project/fork - IMHO the reason why webERP is so special IS the coding
structure - but I realise I am a lone voice on that one!! I understand that what
we have is contrary to the accepted wisdom separating the logic and display...
but this introduces abstraction and bugs - with webERP it is all laid bare with
the context provided by the display code illustrating what the code/logic is
doing. Even a cursor examination of the code of any of the plethora of other
projects that use "model view controller" structure (you propose) illustrates
quite clearly that the code of webERP is so much easier to understand. It would
be heresy for a computer scientist to admit it .... but abundantly obvious I
think?

To alter the interface enough to work with phones would need quite an  extensive
re-write of many scripts. However, a lot of it currently works just fine on
tablets - but phone use is not the best for older eyes :-(
