Hi All,

I was looking through the Examples of EXT JS and then I saw this prompting for the Gears Download. Is EXT JS pure javascript or does it need Gears as well? Does it utilize any Flash? If so, is there are matrix of all parts of the Ext JS that are pure javascript, then ones that are javascript / gears, and javascript/gears/flash?

This is important because on some networks, the user machines are so locked down that any external installations are not permitted. Sometimes these machines may not even be connected to the internet. If this is the case, will large sections of the Ext JS not work?


Thx,
Shane

ExtJS itself does not use gears, although one of the examples does use it. Flash is only used for charting.

In other words, all parts of the library except for charting don't require anything beyond standard browser features.

Thanks, missed that one. Anyone aware of a demo app that caches the Ext JS files?
