In this tutorial i want to show you how to masking a form when user enter a submit button, statusbar that used in this tutorial is from the Extjs ux example, so I borrow this cause it is useable plugin, like always on the server side process I use simple PHP scripting. I created this post because when I used a form in Extjs and the user make a request it seem not really responsive, the system should interact the user, inform what is going on in the system and most user is not advance user. Let’s get started:
1. Setting the StatusBar
Copy the StatusBar css file and icon from the default examples to your desired folder, first the css file you can find it in “extjs/examples/ux/statusbar/css/statusbar.css”, I copy it to another folder called “css” and next the statusbar icon is in “/extjs/examples/ux/statusbar/images” and I copy all the icon files to another folder called “img” most the file structure you can see it on the image on the right, this is how it look in Netbeans project. You can see the “form_masking.html” and “server_response.php” file, this is the main file that we have to create, and it will be mentioned on the next step, but before that we have to edit the StatusBar.css file that we have copied so the icon can be loaded, by changing the “background-image” properties. So find this all code like this
