I have been using all of the lastest versions of WebAssist's extensions using MySQLi, specifically when I have had occasion to use eCart. It brings back memories of the golden past when Dreamweaver was at its height with the inclusion of the server behaviours panels. Ray has also been very helpful when I have had to use different payment gateways, sometimes spending 4 hours and charging for one. All in all, thumbs up.

Having said that, I have fallen in love with client-side processing of data. It allows for very fast data manipulation without having to traffic back and forth to the server. An added feature is that page refresh is a thing of the past. In this regard, large database tables of more than 3K records are better processed on the server-side.

I guess that in the end it's all a matter of taste.

    Not sure why a page refresh should be a thing of the past, its still relevant if you're processing a product details page, which uses a different page template. On the other hand if your processing some kind of form data or simple search app using client side processing is a smoother experience. I think its more a question of where to use which one rather than one being a better solution than the other.

    Perhaps I was a bit too subtle. Let me explain: when I use client side processing, there is no need for full page refresh, hence under those circumstances page refresh is of the past.

    As you can see, I never said that a page refresh should be a thing of the past.

    When I say that I have fallen in love with client-side processing, I develop many sites with an Admin section For instance, where products are displayed for sale and a product is added/edited/deleted using a modal, it is great to see the list react upon the closing of the modal without going through a complete page refresh.

    Edit: Added video.
