    Developing Information and Question Boxes with the Ext JS Library


    (Page 1 of 4 )

    Welcome to the fourth article in a five-part series on building message boxes with the Ext JS framework. In this part of the series, I demonstrate how to create a couple of message boxes for displaying quick information and different questions to users of a web site.

    Introduction

    If you had the chance to read through the previous articles of this series, then I should assume that you’re already familiar with constructing appealing confirm and prompt boxes, as well as several wait and progress bars, by way of the aforementioned Ext JS package.

    As you learned previously, the methods bundled with the library allow you to construct a great variety of interactive boxes by using only a few lines of JavaScript code and basic structural markup. Obviously, from a web developer’s point of view, using a library like Ext JS can help you to develop rich Internet applications in a very short time, particularly if the package is combined with a server-side development framework.

    Nevertheless, this educational journey, dedicated exclusively to exploring the abilities of the Ext JS library for building rich message windows, hasn’t finished yet. This JavaScript package permits you to very quickly construct four different types of dynamic boxes, which are called within the content of this framework, “info,” “question,” “warning” and “error” respectively.

    Therefore, assuming that you’re interested in learning how to build these message boxes by utilizing the Ext JS library, in the next few lines I’ll be coding for you some easy-to-follow examples that show you how to construct these interactive windows in a truly effortless manner.

    Now, it’s time to get rid of the preliminaries and start building some good-looking info and question boxes by utilizing the helpful Ext JS package. Let’s get going!
