HTMLElement to ExtElement?

[askohen]

Hi. I am not sure if this is even the best approach I am taking, but here is what I am trying to do:

I am playing around with the toggle function and have it toggling the display of 'slave' elements when I click a 'master' element (the master toggles visibility of its slave). I got it working well with one master and one slave but I now want to get all master elements in the document, find each one's next sibling and toggle visibility of each one's next sibling.


function toggleExample(){
var masters = Ext.select('.master');
masters.each(function(){
var slave = this.getNextSibling();
//code to do the toggling to slave
});

The problem is that getNextSibling returns an HTMLElement, not an EXTElement. I tried this:


var slave = new Element(this.getNextSibling());

but got an error saying I can't create an object in this context. Is there anyway I can apply Element methods to the next siblings?

You can pass an HTMLElement to Ext.get() and it will return a corresponding Ext.Element.

Thanks for the quick answer. I just tried that right after posting and spending an hour trying to figure that out. Ugh.


var slave = Ext.get(this.getNextSibling());
