Hello everyone,

My work have recently brought Ext Scheduler and it looks really useful, however I'm new to it and ext JS and Javascript in general. Hopefully the learning curve won't be too steep, but if anyone has some good advice for a newbie like me I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks, Emma

Welcome Emma

. I can highly recommend getting a good JS book, a few good ones:

https://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/ ... 79088.html
https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Ext-JS-S ... 1847195148
https://www.amazon.com/Ext-JS-Action-Jes ... 256&sr=1-1
https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Defini ... 280&sr=1-1

also, this section has good stuff: https://sencha.com/learn

and also Saki's site has lots of goodies https://extjs.eu

That should be enough to cover a few evenings

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice Mats, books are ordered and on the way. In the meantime I've been experimenting with the examples. With the configuration demo you have in the html file the <div id="grid-configuration"></div> which I assumed was used to load the scheduler, but if I remove that div it still works - how come?

That div is actually not used, the scheduler is rendered to the page body. See:

renderTo : Ext.getBody(),

you could also change that to 'grid-configuration' to make use of the div.
