Wanted: Dynamic Forms

[arun Thakur]

I am new to ExtJs and started couple of months back. I have experience with other Javascript frameworks.I find this forum very helpful so thanks to all. I have similar requirement I have to generate forms for my application using some xml code from server. Can anybody suggest me how I should proceed as these forms are not simple forms, one form could have multiple pages( eg questionnaire, survey forms). I thought of couple of options.
a) May be I can write util functions using JavaScript or extJs xml parser to generate raw html from these xml files and then rendering that html to dom node. (least interested in this) b) Or I can write a utility will generate the extJs component JSON and use the Ext.ux.Plugin.RemoteComponent plugin to generate form.(http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18023)

Any suggestions?

thx,

I suggest that the transformation from XML to JSON configuration be done on the server.

Animal, Thank you for your reply. Your replies and suggestions on this forum are really very very helpful.Thanks again. Any specific reason I should generate JSON from xml on server side instead of doing it in JavaScript??
