    Default ExtCore and ExtJS have different APIs like this?

    ExtCore and ExtJS have different APIs like this?


    Todays SVN


    ExtCore:
    Ext.Element.select = function(selector, root)

    ExtJS:
    Ext.Element.select = function(selector, unique, root) ...

    I would have thought that ExtJS would just add an extra param to the end, not change the order of the parameters.

    This isn't a bug, moving to general discussion.

    The reason it's like this is because CompositeElement (ie. the unique operator) isn't included in Ext Core. As such, there's no reason to have it.

    It would seem that these kind of minor inconsistencies could be a source of debugging headaches for users migrating from one product to the other and/or developing using both libraries for various products.
