    ExtJS: Printing Panels and Grids

    One of the features i had to implement in one of the ExtJS application I’ve worked on  is printing. I was surprised to find out that there was no official print stylesheet for ExtJS. Overall, my strategy was to bring up the print layout within a popup window and call the window.print() command once rendering […]

    Invalid Argument Error using ScriptTagProxy and IE6

    As explained in my earlier post, i used Ext.data.ScriptTag proxy for some cross-domain AJAX data retrieval.

    I recently had to implement an Organization lookup (backed by a LDAP repository) widget that will be used by some of the web applications I developed and this in a cross-domain environment.  The data displayed within the widget is broken down in Organization->Group->Person hierarchy and on selection of a Person and click of a button, […]

    ExtJS JSON Date Serializer: TimeZones and Format

    Through development, we finally ran into the Javascript date issue where the dates sent between the front and the backend were not in sync. The front end was sending the dates to the backend in “YYYY-MM_DD” format, and the Jackson’s deserializer would append the application’s server timezone to the date, and this would result in […]
