Totti's Blog

JSMag is currently kinda the only Javascript magazine for enthusiastic front-end developers. I’m a subscriber of this magazine, finding it really fun, and interesting to read, especially if you love Javascript. This is a must-read for you and only costs $4.99.

Issue 1
Issue 2
Issue 4

Basically, in form submission you need to validate user input and / or prevent user from entering invalid keys. Pure Javascript implementation could be quite a headache to some folks. ExtJS now provides a regex-based validation class called, vType, which helps you to do both things mentioned above.

This blog entry was written following a question of an user in ExtJS forum: How to drag n’ drop a button on a panel ?

This project is FREE and licensed under GNU GPL 2.0.

The main features are :
