What makes your ExtJS application run so slow ?
By “slow” here I mean the slow run-time, not the load time of resources. In the past one year and a half, I have been working at Bosch Software Innovations, Robert Bosch, where our frontend technology stack heavily relies on ExtJS. I had chances to develop Visual Rules Web Modeler and helped with several other […]
ExtJS – How to scroll Ext.Panel by Drag and Drop ?
In an ExtJS panel (Ext.Panel) where the content area is huge but the Panel size is limited, users usually use the MouseWheel to scroll vertically Up and Down. However, the Drag n Drop feature could actually allow users to scroll both vertically and horizontally by dragging and dropping the content (or body) of Ext.Panel. In […]
ExtJS Accordion-Vbox custom hybrid layout
ExtJs has two well-known layouts called Accordion and Vbox. Basically, in a vertical list of panels, AccordionLayout manages multiple Panels in an expandable accordion style such that only one Panel can be expanded at any given time. Each Panel has built-in support for expanding and collapsing. VboxLayout, on the other hand, arranges items vertically down […]
ExtJS Vertical TabPanel example
Currently, ExtJS 3.1.1 doesn’t support Vertical TabPanel. Here is my simple custom Vertical TabPanel ux class. Currently, it supports the same set of features as Ext.Tabpanel except advanced auto tab-scrolling feature. Default position is “left”. Tested working on FF2+, IE6+, Chrome 4, Safari 4, and Opera 10. You can put the source files in ExtJS […]
The interesting javascript window object

A JavaScript Module Pattern
This is the first episode in the collection of Great Javascript articles by world’s top-notched Javascript gurus. Our entry this week was written by Eric Miraglia originally posted on Y!UI Blog. Global variables are evil. Within YUI, we use only two globals: YAHOO and YAHOO_config. Everthing in YUI makes use of members within the YAHOO […]
ExtJS : 2 secs with custom vType
Following another question on ExtJS forum, I’ve created a sample of how to use vType for ExtJS newbies. Basically, in form submission you need to validate user input and / or prevent user from entering invalid keys. Pure Javascript implementation could be quite a headache to some folks. ExtJS now provides a regex-based validation class […]
