[ajug-announce] Reminder: ExtJS at AJUG Tonight, NoFluffJustStuff on Oct 24th

[Burr Sutter]

When: September 16th at 7:00 PM
Who: James Holmes
Where: Holiday Inn Select - Chamblee-Dunwoody
http://www.ajug.org/meetings.html#directions
What: Ext JS

Description
Ext JS is a cross-browser open-source JavaScript library, for building
richly interactive web applications using techniques such as AJAX, DHTML and
DOM scripting. Originally built as an extension of YUI, Ext can now also
extend JQuery and Prototype. As of version 1.1, Ext can run stand-alone
without relying on any of those external libraries, though they remain an
option for integration.

A diverse set of form controls (or "widgets") is available for use within
web applications, including: text fields and textareas, date fields with a
pop-up date-picker, numeric fields comboboxes (both HTML-style
drop-down-lists and also "proper" combo-boxes which also allow non-list
values to be typed in), radio and checkbox controls, html editor control,
grid control (with both read-only and edit modes, sortable data, lockable
and draggable columns, and a variety of other features), tree control, tab
panels, toolbars, Windows-style menus, region panels to allow a form to be
divided into multiple sub-sections.
