Weighing in a bit late, but: We've been using ExtJs for several years and are quite happy with it as a framework. One thing to note, though, is that we've found it to be most useful when developing an entire *application* (or, as the case may be, an entire *page*) with it. While you can certainly use it to implement Autocomplete and other widgets (their "grid" component is the best I've seen anywhere), its strength tends to be in integrating lots of disparate components and presenting a desktop-like application experience. The library is also really large, which may or may not be a deciding factor. Takes a little while to get used to their methodology, but very much worth it.
On the other hand, if you're looking for some lighter functionality, the jQuery/jQueryUI combination that was mentioned is quite good. As is PrototypeJs/Scriptaculous. Different ways of attacking the same basic issue. Good luck! - Clayton -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Hutten Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 4:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Active4d-dev] Interactive Web Applications - What technology ? Look at ExtJS. Superb UI components, straightforward to wire up to 4D via JSON. Steep learning curve, especially if you're new to Javascript. Worth it, though. - bill -- Bill Hutten [email protected] _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/ _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/
