Ext.Button vs <input type="submit" name>. Need POST variable

[kirill533]

Any reason why you couldn't put it in there?

var myBtn = new Ext.Button({
..//
   name : "myName',


});

The next reason is that this is the easier way to find this button on the page. For example, it is very useful when you use Selenium testing

Here is the 3.1.1 version of the Ext.SubmitButton to whom needs it:

Ext.SubmitButton = Ext.extend(Ext.Button, {

    onRender : function(ct, position){
        var buttonTemplate = new Ext.Template(
            '<table id="{4}" cellspacing="0" class="x-btn {3}"><tbody class="{1}">',
            '<tr><td  class="x-btn-tl"><i>&#160;</i></td><td  class="x-btn-tc"></td><td  class="x-btn-tr"><i>&#160;</i></td></tr>',
            '<tr><td  class="x-btn-ml"><i>&#160;</i></td><td  class="x-btn-mc"><em class="{2}" unselectable="on"><button  type="submit" name="{6}"  value="{5}"></button></em></td><td  class="x-btn-mr"><i>&#160;</i></td></tr>',
            '<tr><td  class="x-btn-bl"><i>&#160;</i></td><td  class="x-btn-bc"></td><td  class="x-btn-br"><i>&#160;</i></td></tr>',
            '</tbody></table>');
        buttonTemplate.compile();
        this.template = buttonTemplate;

        var btn, targs = this.getTemplateArgs();

        targs.push(this.text || ' ', this.name);

        if(position){
            btn = this.template.insertBefore(position, targs, true);
        }else{
            btn = this.template.append(ct, targs, true);
        }
        /**
         * An {@link Ext.Element Element} encapsulating the Button's clickable element. By default,
         * this references a <tt>&lt;button&gt;</tt> element. Read only.
         * @type Ext.Element
         * @property btnEl
         */
        this.btnEl = btn.child(this.buttonSelector);
        this.mon(this.btnEl, {
            scope: this,
            focus: this.onFocus,
            blur: this.onBlur
        });

        this.initButtonEl(btn, this.btnEl);

        btn.un(this.clickEvent, this.onClick, this);

        Ext.ButtonToggleMgr.register(this);
    }
});

// register ptype
Ext.preg('submitbutton', Ext.SubmitButton);
