I'm fine with using "me" all over the place. It's got at least two benefits mentioned in just the past few posts here.

If anything, I tend to use more descriptive words than just "me." For...

Hey Eric,

I'm absolutely using SilkJS with the ORM to implement the server side for ExtJS4.

This demo implements Ext.ux.SchemaGrid class. The Grid...

Just an update. The site is now hosted at http://silkjs.net/

Yeah.

Life is grand when you're working on existing legacy apps that don't use the latest toolkits but do need to run on the latest phones.

What I mean is the browser developers release new browsers with slightly different behaviors. Ext 3.4 hasn't been touched by Sencha engineers in over a year, so any new browser release may introduce...

I am watching our 3.4 project deteriorate before my eyes. First it was double click on a grid row -> open tab in tab panel leaves everything in the whole browser selected, now the grids are failing....

New and improved silkjs.org WWW site at http://silkjs.org. Powered by SilkJS, of course!

SilkJS now compiles, caches, and serves LessCSS files (files with .less extension).

It also features UglifyJS for JavaScript minification.

More like these to come.

Yes! Now put his tools to work :)

I ran across this article, which has a very good discussion of performance issues in JavaScipt.

I'm just getting into CoffeeScript, having implemented it in SilkJS.

It seems like a lot of work to wrap ExtJS with CoffeeScript, but it could be interesting in the end. If you're just using...

[by mschwartz]

For those of you interested in CoffeeScript, SilkJS now fully supports it.

You can make CoffeeScript pages. These are files with .coffee file extensions in the server's documentRoot. The server...

The designer page briefly mentions the code editor, but no real details on the editor's features. Does it do autocompletion? inspection? refactoring? etc?

Key binding? Macros?

I'm not an Ext4 user yet, though I've dabbled a little.

Ideally, a forEach() type function should work on both arrays and objects.

For example:



var a = [ 1,2,3];
forEach(a,...

If the 90/10 rule is really true, then 90% of these loops should be Ext.each() for maintainability and readability.

If you're just doing JavaScript coding, Jetbrains' WebStorm IDE is only $29 and is downright amazing.

In a pinch, VI works.

[by mschwartz]

If you're not really going to support it, maybe you should open source it fully.

[by mschwartz]

What's the license?

I know the stock answer is to email your licensing guys, but if it's a public repo and project, how about you tell us in public?

[by mschwartz]

If Sencha isn't going to support 3.x, how about if they let some of us create a github repo and work on keeping it maintained there?

I knew what you were talking about.

What's the point in saving a few microseconds to return unique items in an array when you have really big fish to fry like the sheer quantity of DOM nodes the...

Your code:



getDom : function(el, strict) {
if (!el || !document) {
return null;
}
if (el.dom) {//questionable use at best ??

[by mschwartz]

Because your code doesn't return a DOM node if a DOM node is passed in. Your function returns NULL in that case.

You are likely to have issues with users with older machines, operating systems, and (therefore) browsers.
