Ext v1.1 Released

August 01, 2007 | Jack Slocum

The Ext team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Ext v1.1 for download. The 1.1 version includes the new stand-alone version of Ext, a lightweight HTML editor, a new Ext.Ajax utility class, enhancements to DateField and DatePicker, expanded documentation and bug fixes. Ext Stand-alone An important step in Ext's evolution as it's no longer a requirement that you use a 3rd-party base library when developing an application with Ext. The Ext framework will continue to include adapters for other popular libraries to allow you, the developer, to choose the most appropriate library for your project. Below are the combined weights minimized (not packed) for each of the base libraries. The ext-base.js has been built to just include what Ext needs to run, so the result file size is much smaller.
Base Library Requirements File Size
Ext Base ext-base.js 36 KB
Yahoo UI yahoo.js, dom.js, event.js, connection.js, animation.js, ext-yui-adapter.js 58 KB
jQuery jquery.js, dimensions.js, forms.js, ext-jquery-adapter.js 62 KB
Prototype/Scriptaculous prototype.js, scriptaculous.js, effects.js, ext-prototype-adapter.js 71 KB
HTML Editor We received many requests from the Ext community following the 1.0 release to add a lightweight WYSIWYG html editor to Ext that integrates well with the other Ext components. The HtmlEditor component in 1.1 is extremely lightweight (12 KB) and easy to customize with other features you may need. You can see it in action here. DateField enhancements New flexible user input dates parsing and a new month/year selection implementation. Thanks to everyone in the Ext community who provided us with input and feedback on how it should be done! You can see it in action here. Ext.Ajax A new flexible API for making Ajax requests with Ext. Ext.Ajax provides features such as global headers and parameters, cross library file uploads and most importantly, global Ajax events. These events are very powerful and could be used to queue and combine Ajax requests into a single call, cancel requests, provide data locally, add parameters, etc. Here's a very simple piece of sample code that could be used to show a loading spinner while Ajax requests are in progress. 
 
Ext.Ajax.on({
'beforerequest': function(){
Ext.get('spinner').show();
},
'requestcomplete': function(){ Ext.get('spinner').hide(); } }); Behaviors Ext.addBehaviors(...) allows for easy attaching of behaviors/DOM event handlers in Ext 1.1. Here's a snip from the docs: 
Ext.addBehaviors({
// add a listener for click on all anchors in element with id foo
'#foo a@click' : function(e, target){
// do something
},
// add the same listener to multiple selectors '#foo a, #bar span.some-class@mouseover' : function(e, target){ // do something } }); Improved API Documentation Improving the API documentation was a big priority for 1.1 and we would like to thank all the people in the Ext community who helped by contributing or reporting missing documentation. A special thanks goes to Fernando Gomez (efege), Tim Ryan (tryanDLS) and Nige White (Animal). Make sure you also take a look at the growing Ext: Learn section of extjs.com where many members of the Ext community have been creating tutorials, an FAQ and other learning resources.

Strangest thing…when you change font right after first using the HTML text editor, it generates tags.  After switching to HTML (raw) view and back, though, it uses .

Why the tags initially?

Heh.  With angle brackets encoded:

Strangest thing…when you change font right after first using the HTML text editor, it generates <font face=...> tags.  After switching to HTML (raw) view and back, though, it uses <span style=“font-face:...”>.

Why the <font> tags initially?

I love the rich text editor. Is there a file I can download where I can get _only_ the rich text editor (not all the other ajax stuff)? It would be a lovely drop in replacement for the RTE I’m currently using on my site.

When will you guys only learn to put ONLY the fields?!

“Format” “Remove Format” | „Bold“ „Italic“ | “Unnumbered List” “Ordered List” “Intend” “De-Intent” |  “Add Link“ “Remove Link“ | “Text-Foreground” “Text-Background” | “Insert Table” „Insert Image“  should be enough for every user!

Buttons like “make text bigger” or “make smaller” or “font-family” or “font-size” do NOT MAKE ANY sense at all and only encourages bad formatting! Recently i searched for an alternative Blog client, but i could not use any of them because most did not have a „Format“-field. I have stylesheets assigned to lists and headings that do my formating! That is why they exist!


ANYWAY great work on Ext! I love it very much!

Perhaps this should be posted somewhere more appropriate, but I wanted to be helpful and make this known but do not have the time to find the proper channel to do so.  The date-picker function is nice, but it reduces the year to two digits… even if one specifically chooses an ambiguous date.  For instance, using the mouse I picked November 22, 1907.  It reduced this to 11/22/07.  I also used the mouse to pick November 22, 2007.  It also reduced this to 11/22/07.  Perhaps it needs to expand years to 4 digits as this will prevent such a problem.

StareClips, the date format for the field is easily configurable to any format you want including 4 digit years.

[...] Mein Favourit heißt JQuery 1.3.1 Es ist sehr kompakt und erzielt über alle Browser hinweg konstante Ergbenisse ohne große Ausfälle. Ähnlich gute Ergebnisse liefert DoJo Query - der 2. Sieger wg. mehr Fehlern und insgesamt etwas höherer Größe (44Kb gepackt vs. 23Kb gepackt). Die Performance der Frameworks mit den absolut besten Werten, Moo und Prototype lässt unter dem Internet Explorer leider zu wünschen übrig, ansonsten sind beide ebenfalls top und unter Safari und Firefox auch extrem performant. CSS Query ist aus dem Rennen. ExtJS ist leider relativ fehleranfällig und auch relativ groß. Eventuell ändert sich das mit dem neuen Release. [...]
