new Ext.form field type - MiscField

[talshadar]

But I'm having a problem getting the spacing in IE working properly.

I'm using the miscelField to hold some info fed from the selection of a combo box. Unless they select a certain value, the miscel field needs to be hidden. Only shown(and filled) if they select the value I specify.

I have tried several different things and the following is the only thing I can get working 1/2 right. otherwise it shows the info in the top corner instead of below the combo box.

        interfaceInfoPlaceholder = new Ext.form.MiscField("interfaceSelection",{
            fieldLabel:" ",
            labelSeparator: "", 
            id: "interfaceInfo",
            width:350,
            hideMode: "visibility"
        });

        frmActionItem.add(interfaceInfoPlaceholder);


        txtInterfaceInfoPlaceholder = Ext.get("interfaceSelection");
        txtInterfaceInfoPlaceholder.hide();
        txtInterfaceInfoPlaceholder.setStyle("display","none");

        //these give an error - container is null
        //txtInterfaceInfoPlaceholder.container.up("div.x-form-item").hide();
        //txtInterfaceInfoPlaceholder.container.up("div.x-form-item").setStyle("display","none");

any suggestions would be helpful.
