Order Editor v5.0 BETA 1 for public testing

NOTE: This release is for public testing and is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON PRODUCTION SITES.

NOTE: This release is not a revision of Order Editor 4.x. The 4.x and 5.x releases were developed independently, and, linearly speaking, are both updates to the 3.x series of Order Editor. As such they would best be considered parallel forks.

FULL PACKAGE, including upgrade instructions

Features of Order Editor 5.0:
-Fully integrated AJAX interface allows for near real-time updating of the database without use of the update button. In order to update a field the user need only type the new information in the appropriate box then press the tab button or otherwise move the cursor and the appropriate change will be accomplished without reloading the page.
-Real-time shipping quotes using the catalog side shipping modules.
-Order total process using the catalog side order total modules.
-Updated HTML layout does away with many of the nested tables found in previous versions.
-Advanced Add a Product function allows for searching by categories, subcategories, name, or model.


Known bugs/issues:
-Shipping tax is apparently not being added to the appropriate tax component, but is added to the total
-Add a Product function does not work at all on browsers with javascript disabled (implementation of javascript-less Add a Product function planned for BETA 2)

Planned revisions for BETA 2;
-Bug fixes as necessary
-Add a Product functionality on javascript impaired browsers
-Ability to toggle AJAX features on/off via admin (for all the haters)
-Clean up and streamline the AJAX code
-Use responseText to generate success messages in AJAX code in order to better catch errors
