One thing to bear in mind when using Ext with the jQuery engine is that you don't have to use Ext all the time! I have built a backend application using Ext's brilliant border layouts, message boxes, dialogs, trees, etc, but for all form processing (and a lot of the ajax calls, as well) I simply use jQuery with the forms plugin. With regard to hiding your Dialog, use Firebug to check the scope that gets passed into your submitDLG function (3rd argument) because it looks like the Button object (which is the default) is getting passed in rather than Dialog object. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ext-dialog-and-form-tf3635224s15494.html#a10172537 Sent from the JQuery mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
