I'm looking for a website that allows a user to enter extjs code and view the results. There are many examples of this sort of thing at html tutorial sites where you enter html code into a text area and click okay, but i can't seem to find one for extjs. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something to allow someone to learn the basic syntax, check/combo/text boxes/grids and such.

I couldn't find one using google, and i'm not sure if anyone's ever made one, but it'd be an excellent tool to have here at the site if it's not already implemented somewhere.

Don't you just use the Firebug console to fiddle with things?

Sadly enough, I just got to the tutorial section that has exactly what I'm looking for using firebug.

Apologies. I'm still on my crash course through everything that is web scripting. I didn't even know what firebug, json, or dom nodes were until I graduated. Should've picked a better college, hehe.

Beat me to it Jay.

Either way, Firebug is the shizzle for fiddling around with JS code in real time.

I found a nice little posting about using Firebug here (http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=94630) which should help get you started.

Have you read the book?

Not in its entirety (due to the fact that i've been using Ext JS since early 2006), but I can tell you that it's very well written and recommend it to *anyone* who uses the the framework.
