Ext comes from YUI-ext. YUI stands for Yahoo User Interface,
which is a library that groups several functions with .js extension,
to run under Javascript, the style of Script.aculo.us .
Like Javascript and script.aculo.us, Ext is a client-side framework
for building dynamic web applications. Currently, the library is
released by the name Ext under 2.2 version. Scripting with
this library is called ExtJS. I have to say that "ExtJs" is
not a real Open source in the sense that everything is just dictated.
2. Getting started ?
To dowload the related library, go to extjs.com
Choose Ext JS 2.2 SDK and dowload ext-2.2.zip.
Unzip the packet in a directory; say C:\ExtJS, to get the "ext-2.2"
directory. This directoy contains the subdirectory "ext-2.2" which
includes all the libraries. We can use the "examples" subdirectory to
get started.
Make a subdirectory as "Examples" within C:\ExtJS\ext-2.2,
as C:\ExtJS\ext-2.2\Examples and try some examples to remark that
constraints are well set if we want to use the codes..
