Documentation Bugs - Ext 2.x

[vmorale4]

document reflect that if there is a transmission error only then failure handler would be invoked.

In my case my failure handler is invoked if I return:
{'success' : false, errors : { 'myreason' : 'This is my reason'}}

-------------------

There is a problem with this documentation. I have got it verified from an Ext guru ('saki') in this thread : http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27337

I have also verified this, and the failure handler gets invoked for for both transmission errors and form field errors.

Slightly OT, are there any plans to set a public bug database for documentation errors? (kind of similar to YUI). Sometimes is hard to keep track if a bug has been reported before in this forum.

The documentation does not contain the url config option that is passed on to Ext.form.BasicForm.

Thanks,

Thanks,

but right at the top of the Ext.form.FormPanel docs it says in bold

Although they are not listed, this class also accepts all the config options required to configure its internal Ext.form.BasicForm

Hi, the documentation for XmlReader (Extjs 2.0) gives the following example for xml file:

<?xml?>
<dataset>
 <results>2</results>
 <row>
   <id>1</id>
   <name>Bill</name>
   <occupation>Gardener</occupation>
 </row>
 <row>
   <id>2</id>
   <name>Ben</name>
   <occupation>Horticulturalist</occupation>
 </row>
</dataset>

But, according to my Firebug, this makes my XmlHttpRequest.responseXML have a lot of parser error and my grid doesnt show my data.

I figured out that if I specify the XML header my XmlHttpRequest.responseXML is builden correctly.
So, the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataset>
 <results>2</results>
 <row>
   <id>1</id>
   <name>Bill</name>
   <occupation>Gardener</occupation>
 </row>
 <row>
   <id>2</id>
   <name>Ben</name>
   <occupation>Horticulturalist</occupation>
 </row>
</dataset>

works.

If the XML header is really needed, so I think it is a case to change the documentation example.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataset>
 <results>2</results>
 <row>
   <id>1</id>
   <name>Bill</name>
   <occupation>Gardener</occupation>
 </row>
 <row>
   <id>2</id>
   <name>Ben</name>
   <occupation>Horticulturalist</occupation>
 </row>
</dataset>

Fixed in SVN.

The documentation for Class Ext.form.ComboBox's displayField and valueField is not 100% clear:

displayField : String
The underlying data field name to bind to this ComboBox (defaults to undefined if mode = 'remote' or 'text' if transforming a select)

The default value for mode=local is not specified (rather than transforming a select)

typo :
in Class Ext.dd.DD
in Class Ext.tree.TreeDragZone
in Class Ext.dd.DDProxy
in Class Ext.dd.DragSource


scroll : boolean
When set to true, the utility automatically tries to scroll the browser window wehn a drag and drop element is dragged near the viewport boundary. Defaults to true.

Ext.tree.TreeSorter:

The sortType function has a single parameter: node (the text suggests the value of 'property')

I updated the docs for several configs and also added a usage example. Thanks.

http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/out...DomHelper.html seems to lack a bit of usage/detail, instead deferring to:
