I am trying to make my HTML tables look a little prettier using Ext JS. I would like to take a simple HTML table that lists users and the corresponding group name and produce a grouping grid in Ext JS.
There is a javascript file named from-html.js in the examples folder of Ext JS. I have been using that to read the HTML from Cake and transform it into a pretty simple grid. (Yes... I know having HTML translated by javascript is not the future. The direction the CakeXT project is going with JSON objects is better, but the grouping functionality is not yet included...) Simple grids work great, except for the pagination part. That will be a separate post. It may be possible to use the Ext.data.GroupingStore function, but I am having trouble with the syntax for the 'sortinfo' and 'grouping'. Here is what I have so far: var ds = new Ext.data.GroupingStore({ // Create data grouping reader: new Ext.data.XmlReader({ record:'tbody tr'}, fields), // sortInfo: {field: 'username', direction: "ASC"}, // groupField: 'group_name' }); With the two lines commented, I get a simple data grid. With the two lines not comments I only get an HTML table. Does anyone have any experience with this part of Ext JS so that I can reference these fields? A more complete code example can be found at http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78141. So far no answers from that forum... I'm hoping somebody here can help me. Please.
