    Constructing a Multi-Column Online Form with the Ext JS Framework - Listing the application’s full source code


    (Page 4 of 4 )

    As I said in the section that you just read, I’m finishing this tutorial by showing you the entire source code that displays this handy multi-column web form, including all of the CSS and JavaScript files required by the Ext JS library. Here it is:


    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    <html>

    <head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

    <title>Multicolumn Web Form with HTML editor</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ext-all.css"/>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="forms.css"/>

    <!-- common styles for the examples -->

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="examples.css"/>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="ext-base.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="ext-all.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    Ext.onReady(function(){

    Ext.QuickTips.init();

    var theform=new Ext.FormPanel({

    labelAlign: 'top',

    frame:true,

    title: 'Multi Column, Nested Layouts and HTML editor',

    bodyStyle:'padding:5px 5px 0',

    width: 600,

    items: [{

    layout:'column',

    items:[{

    columnWidth:.5,

    layout: 'form',

    items: [{

    xtype:'textfield',

    fieldLabel: 'First Name',

    name: 'first',

    anchor:'95%'

    }, {

    xtype:'textfield',

    fieldLabel: 'Company',

    name: 'company',

    anchor:'95%'

    }]

    },{

    columnWidth:.5,

    layout: 'form',

    items: [{

    xtype:'textfield',

    fieldLabel: 'Last Name',

    name: 'last',

    anchor:'95%'

    },{

    xtype:'textfield',

    fieldLabel: 'Email',

    name: 'email',

    vtype:'email',

    anchor:'95%'

    }]

    }]

    },{

    xtype:'htmleditor',

    id:'bio',

    fieldLabel:'Comments',

    height:200,

    anchor:'98%'

    }],


    buttons: [{

    text: 'Save'

    },{

    text: 'Cancel'

    }]

    });

    theform.render(document.body);

    });

    </script>

    </head>

    <body>

    <h1>Multicolumn Web Form with HTML editor</h1>

    </body>

    </html>


    Finally, if you wish to test all the code samples shown in this tutorial, don’t forget to download the Ext JS package from its official web site, located at: http://www.ext.js.com.

    Final thoughts

    In this third installment of the series, I walked you through the development of a full-featured multi-column web form, by using the JavaScript API provided by the Ext JS library. Hopefully, the whole experience has been pretty instructive and even fun. 

    In the upcoming part of this series, I’m going to teach you how to use the library to construct a multi-tabbed online form. So, now that you’ve been warned about the subject of the next tutorial, you won’t want to miss it!
