Using the ExtJS javascript library
Since starting with 0.9.7 MODx will be using ExtJS in the Manager, I thought it would be a good idea to start learning the framework so that it will be more natural to use the included library files for AJAX and other client-side functionality rather than struggling with a bunch of different and most likely conflicting libraries. This will be the first in a series of articles document my learning process, as well as (hopefully) producing some nice snippets for use now and in the future.
The ExtJS libraries can be downloaded from the ExtJs website. The site also has user forums and documentation.

The grid has been established and the AJAX requests sent. The back-end PHP file processes the POST values sent by ext.

The foundation is set, now it's time to actually get going on the extjs and AJAX part.

I found myself unexpectedly dropped into the deep end of ext development when I needed to update a three-year-old site.
