Hi there,

I'm really newbie with ExtJs, but I think that it's amazing by now. my english it's not very good, but I will try to explain my self.

I'm going to start a new project with Zope3 (Grok actually) and I'm thinking on ExtJS for the GUI.

The thing it's that I was thinking in find a way to generate the GUI on fly from the server side. I mean, instead of coding each component (forms, panels, grid, etc.) in the client side, I would like to develop a way to generate all that components sending JSON from the server to the client side. And the client side should be just one file.js with a kind of interpreter that talk with the server side to ask for JSON data and config.

am I clear? it's hard to explain an idea in other language :)


Hope to find some help on you guys.

cheers

You'll find a 'remoteload' directory in the examples of the ext download.

This should get you started pretty nicely.
