Some of my co-workers wanted to implement ASP.Net Ajax into our website, but I argue that Ext handles everything and more that ASP.Net Ajax does (and better). I don't want to have too many library dependencies on the web page, it is already complicated as it is.
About the only two valuable functionalities that I notice are not in Ext are the Accordian (http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/Accordion/Accordion.aspx)and the Validator Callout (http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/ValidatorCallout/ValidatorCallout.aspx) but it seems to me that they would be easy to create in Ext. The validator callout can be created with QuickTips and the Accordian could be a layout.

Are any of these already implemented?

Thanks.

There's already something similar to a callout in Ext. It is a little different though.

Turning a group of divs to have accordian behavior would take about 5 minutes with Ext. It is easier for the end-user (you) to implement it with a group of divs, than for Ext to handle it generically. However, in the Ext 2.0 codebase there is an Accordian Container layout. It will be available in SVN soon.
