Ext File Upload Form Widget

ext-upload.pngAnother great Addon for Ext Framework again. Ext File Upload Form Widget is to provide an user interface for easy uploading of files to a server.

Files are first added to an “upload queue” and then they are uploaded to the server. Any file can be individually removed from the queue before upload or the whole queue can be cleared.

The result of upload is shown for each file by icons of success or failure and, in the case of failure, the server error message is shown as the tooltip of the failure icon.

RichFaces is a rich component library for JavaServer Faces built on an advanced open source framework (Ajax4jsf). It allows easy integration of AJAX capabilities into enterprise-level business application development. RichFaces enriches the Ajax4jsf framework in two important ways. First, it expands the number of visual ready-to-use components. Secondly, it fully implements the skinability feature of the Ajax4jsf framework including a large number of predefined skins. Using skinability, it is much easier to manage the look-and-feel of an application.

This demo Web application showcases the most important functionality available in RichFaces components. For each component or component set selected in the left-hand sidebar, you can see it in action. Also, you can instantly see the effect of predefined skins on the application whole look-and-feel. I really like the “Drag Indicator” one.

Multi-color sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) is a technology that allows you to replace text elements on screen with Flash equivalents with colors. sIFR is a DOM replacement method originally conceived by Shaun Inman and turned into a high quality cross-browser, cross-platform typography solution for the masses.

sIFR allows website headings, pull-quotes and other elements to be styled in whatever font the designer chooses without the user having it installed on their machine.

Multi-color sFIR implementation is easy – just add sEmColor:”#FF4400″, sStrongColor:”#FF0000″ and sSpanColor:”#EE6600″ into your named argument call function at the bottom of the .html file and if the script finds a <strong>, <em> or <span> elements, each one will be colored3. And they can be nested, too.

Requirements: Browsers required Flash

Ext is a JavaScript framework for building web applications. In early 2006, Jack Slocum began working on a set of extension utilities for the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library. These extensions were quickly organized into an independent library of code and distributed under the name “yui-ext“. By the end of the year, the library had gained so much in popularity that the name was changed simply to Ext, a reflection of its maturity and independence as a framework.
