Issues
Some issues I have we can improve with Ext.
Feedback on missing information
"root" is a required input to a Ext.tree.TreePanel - but if you don't add it, Ext throws an error deep in the Ext library - very hard to debug. Why can't Ext just tell us that it is missing or required?
One answer is that it would add a lot to the size, but we have the answer there by adding Debug entries. It could even be added as a separate library that extends the original classes with config checks - either by a hook, or overwriting initComponent or similar.
Perl Library
This project is currently a little stale...
My random notes on implementations with Perl.
AJAX - JSON or XML
So you want to get some data back dynamically. The choices are:
- Status code of HTTP request
- Presentation / Browser data such as HTML, an Image or similar
- XML (pretty much any schema)
- JSON
So which one?
CDN
(see also CDN)
There are two solutions currently for CDN 3rd party hosted cache of these files:
- http://cachefile.net/scripts/ext/2.1/ - working now
- http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/ - but it isn't there yet
