Layout Design Help

  • Sorry if this is a very basic/stupid question, but I was absolutely not able to create a layout design application. Although I was able to create/run all other examples, to various levels of success. I even copy pasted code from Application Layout tutorial, but invain...

    My Doubts:

    1> Do I need to have a webserver running at my test system to see any of these effects?
    2> Is there a step by step tutorial anywhere , which a nubi like me can follow?
    3> I really hope that this lib can be run by IE 6.0 on my test system here.

    Thanks in advance,

  • If your learning ExtJS i would recommend downloading Firefox + FireBug and using that instead, it will allow you to see whats going wrong a lot better than IE does.


  • Thanks Foggy, but I tried those tuts, got some "invalid character error, when I open the browser". Also the browser says "Object Required" on all lines that have some thing like this:



    init : function(){
    layout = new Ext.BorderLayout(document.body, { <---Error line number

    north: {
    split:false,
    .....
    any ideas?

    I really appreciate the help, thanks again!


  • 1> Do I need to have a webserver running at my test system to see any of these effects?
    No, ExtJS effects would run without a server, just open that files in your Browser...
    Just for interaction with the Server you'll need a webserver with php, perl or another Server Language...

    2> Is there a step by step tutorial anywhere , which a nubi like me can follow?
    The ExtJS Community Tuts are really good in my Opinion...
    http://extjs.com/learn/Tutorials
    But also the example folder in your download is a very first contact point...

    3> I really hope that this lib can be run by IE 6.0 on my test system here.
    Of course...


  • Yep, FireBug really is a god send when it comes to JavaScript Error hunting, but it is also a great tool for testing stuff as well without having to reload the page.

    Have a play with the FireBug Console, stick some calls in like Ext.Msg.alert('Oh Hi!', 'hello there!?'); and you will see what i mean


  • Yep, I started using it and feel a lot better already. I re-visited the examples folder, and was able to reverse engineer most of the examples. It's a great tool and this is a gr8 board on a gr8 technology! LOLz!

    Thanks a lot for all the help!
