form preview - need ideas: URGENT

[ext_fan]

Hi,
I have a form panel with many tabs & fieldsets. The formpanel has preview tool:

1. I would like to provide preview of the formpanel, is there any default option in ext js.
2. Also if the user enters value in the form fields, the preview window should show the entered values.
3. Want to open a window which can show the formpanel with latest data (mean user entered data)..

Please throw your ideas...

I'm not sure what you mean by "preview" of the FormPanel? what exactly do you want to preview? From what you are saying there it sounds like you want a complete copy of it in another area/panel/window?

Yes you are correct I need another copy of the form..

but it should have the recent values..
for example on load a form has 5 textboxes..user fills value...when user clicks preview tool, we have to show the copy of the panel with filled values...

I would think you need to do a DOM copy on the form when you need to show the preview - although seems like a lot of overhead.

I think you can use cloneNode(true) on the parent node el that you want to clone (not extjs component but DOM el). I think most browsers support that. I could be wrong though, never have used it, just looked it up - google has most of that info.
