Great example. Thanks. It looks good and works well in FireFox 2 but IE7 is throwing and error and won't dispay anything.

@Micah - I know why it was not working in IE 7 and I will fix it tonight.

@Jeff - I really like your first example. After the core is up to a working release I think I will revisit this as it would be a nice feature. Ill start digging through the Ext forums!

Hi Dan,

it not working in IE 6, also when i am trying to submit form nothing happened?

Cheers,

Hi Dan -

I have been spending some time directly in Ext-land, trying to sort the syntax for creating forms 'by hand' .. so far so good, but for the submitting part... there must be something I am missing, because it seems awfully unintuitive, creating a button, adding a custom function to submit the form... and still I am not getting syntax quite right, or I need more sleep, or something.

Have you sorted how you plan to handle submitting your forms?

Also - what is the 'anchor:95%' in your generated js? I searched the Ext api for 'anchor', but all I can find is 'anchorTo'

thanks

Ah... the sample has "allowBlank=" (for extjs directly) and the attribute for CFM is "required"... that works...

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the cfext project. It's rock solid.
I tried to put together a form with the cfext lib, and tried to submit the form. It was quite complicated. I am a newbie in that domain, but this is the method I used:

a init function:
function init(){
Get my button object
var myButton = Ext.get('submit');

//Get my Form object
var myForm = Ext.get('myForm');

//an event listener on the button
myButton.on('click',sendForm);

//the handler   
function sendForm()
{
   theForm = document.getElementById("ext-gen22");
   theForm.action = 'test.cfm';
   Ext.Msg.alert('Info', theForm.action);
   theForm.submit();
}

Notice that with the var myForm, I cannot send the form. in fact, var myForm is equal to myForm.getForm().getEl() where myForm is also the name of my form (hope you can follow).

So I had to check (using firebug) what is the name of the form generated by the code (in my script: ext-gen22) and submit it using normal js.

Another thing is when I debug, the form created has no action parameter. Whatever I tried, it won't work.

Anyway, I got the form submitted, so I am quite happy, but I am on the good path here, or is there a better way?

Thanks a lot!
