Brian,I believe Ray means ability to describe some kind of Ext’s layout in murkup/HTML language not javascript.Something like applyTo(element)/readFromMarkup() but more generic and implicit,hence extension of existent DOM object model generated from markup,not creating new/parallel one in javascript.

@Jesse, one of Ext’s goals is to provide a complete web _application_ development framework. Part of apps, especially business apps, is trees, windows, etc. Name a major framework that doesn’t have a tree component?! BTW, the desktop itself is not a component of the library, just an example of how components can be combined (fairly easily) to create complex, attractive UIs.

@Ray, Ext provides support for progressive enhancement in the vast majority of its widgets. Not sure what you are basing your statement on. Many of the example pages use JS-generated components out of convenience, but you should not take the examples as the definitive statement on what the library is capable of.

Agree,Ray, look at http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5501 discussion

I thought ext “extend” dom model,providing component services and new component model layered on top of dom as is…

maybe,it simply not possible to achive such level of quality with that level of flexibility.Anyway,I believe Ext is best UI library.
Personally,I really like IE’s behavior(DHTML and element) concept:-)

@Jack

Scrolling windows / trees / desktop? Why? I feel like the disillusioned sidekick in ron burgundy watching his self inflicted downfall happen like a bad dream. .. ~shrugs~

Oh well, I noticed g reader implemented a new kind of searchable drop down box UI component. At least someone is still innovating. =p

@Jack Slocum
I am not so sure I would agree with your “we’re friendly folks” comment. I think you are very friendly, but one of the changes from yui-ext to ext has been the addition of partners and others on the forums who too often answer questions with a RTFM or search the forum when they could have just have easily answered the question.

Amazing stuff! Very nice.

Any chance for a declarative widget definition, with custom tags or XML? For example like in DojoÂ´s Dijit?

With such a huge amount of high quality components, I’d recommend to write a book about Ext :-)

Great job

I love Ext, it is really well thought out, but it is a no-compromise all-or-nothing JS toolkit – meaning, nearly all of the framework’s components are created at runtime (there is minimal support for so-called “progressive enhancement” of existing HTML), and the framework often introduce many levels of s into your DOM to accomplish its magic (take a look at what an Ext Grid renders to w/ Firebug to see what I mean – it is a far cry from anything resembling a ).

Translation: it can be pretty slow if you’re not careful and/or are not running on a pretty new machine.

Ext the best framework on frontend script ever?

Great work. I can see a lot of potential uses for this, especially on corporate intranets. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with as this rolls towards production.

Hello, does anyone here have any experience using ExtJS with ASP.NET? I wonder if it works well together. For instance, can you use ASP.NET validators for your fields, or use the gridview?

Jack and his team are doing a great job. I’ve been a big fan since the early days and I think it’s one of the cleanest frameworks around. However, the more features they add to ext the more resources (read: images, css) we will have to make to take advantage of the framework!

I, for one, doesn’t want a site that looks like every other extjs site around… and neither does my employer. :)
