Ext.ux.form.Message

Hi All

I have been going through the classes we have developed over the last few years and sharing back with the community some of them that I think will be useful to others. These components have been tested extensively in ext-3.2.1.

Here is: Ext.ux.form.Message

A form field that is not displayed but shows its value in an alert window

Code:

Why is this a form field? Would think a plugin for the form would be better. And what happens if you have 2 or more of them?

Hi Mitchel


We made this a form element because our forms contents are generated on the server side and displayed using our component Ext.ux.panel.RemoteInstantiateDirect. With some modifications to the back end however we could use a plugin for the same purpose. I did a quick test to see what would happen if there were 2 fields in the form and I see your point -- one alert would overwrite the other. I had expected it would result in 2 alerts.


Thank you for the input.


Best regards
