Ext JS 4.0.7 Sencha Docs

Ext.Element

Alternate names

Ext.core.Element

Subclasses

Files

Encapsulates a DOM element, adding simple DOM manipulation facilities, normalizing for browser differences.

All instances of this class inherit the methods of Ext.fx.Anim making visual effects easily available to all DOM elements.

Note that the events documented in this class are not Ext events, they encapsulate browser events. Some older browsers may not support the full range of events. Which events are supported is beyond the control of Ext JS.

Usage:

// by id
var el = Ext.get("my-div");

// by DOM element reference
var el = Ext.get(myDivElement);

Animations

When an element is manipulated, by default there is no animation.

var el = Ext.get("my-div");

// no animation
el.setWidth(100);

Many of the functions for manipulating an element have an optional "animate" parameter. This parameter can be specified as boolean (true) for default animation effects.

// default animation
el.setWidth(100, true);

To configure the effects, an object literal with animation options to use as the Element animation configuration object can also be specified. Note that the supported Element animation configuration options are a subset of the Ext.fx.Anim animation options specific to Fx effects. The supported Element animation configuration options are:

Option    Default   Description
--------- --------  ---------------------------------------------
duration  .35       The duration of the animation in seconds
easing    easeOut   The easing method
callback  none      A function to execute when the anim completes
scope     this      The scope (this) of the callback function

Usage:

// Element animation options object
var opt = {
    duration: 1,
    easing: 'elasticIn',
    callback: this.foo,
    scope: this
};
// animation with some options set
el.setWidth(100, opt);

The Element animation object being used for the animation will be set on the options object as "anim", which allows you to stop or manipulate the animation. Here is an example:

// using the "anim" property to get the Anim object
if(opt.anim.isAnimated()){
    opt.anim.stop();
}

( eventName, fn, [scope], [options] ) : Ext.Elementchainable
Appends an event handler to this element. ...

Appends an event handler to this element.

Available since: 1.1.0

Parameters

  • eventName : String

    The name of event to handle.

  • fn : Function

    The handler function the event invokes. This function is passed the following parameters:

    • evt : EventObject

      The EventObject describing the event.

    • el : HtmlElement

      The DOM element which was the target of the event. Note that this may be filtered by using the delegate option.

    • o : Object

      The options object from the addListener call.

  • scope : Object (optional)

    The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to this Element.

  • options : Object (optional)

    An object containing handler configuration properties. This may contain any of the following properties:

    • scope Object :

      The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to this Element.

    • delegate String:

      A simple selector to filter the target or look for a descendant of the target. See below for additional details.

    • stopEvent Boolean:

      True to stop the event. That is stop propagation, and prevent the default action.

    • preventDefault Boolean:

      True to prevent the default action

    • stopPropagation Boolean:

      True to prevent event propagation

    • normalized Boolean:

      False to pass a browser event to the handler function instead of an Ext.EventObject

    • target Ext.Element:

      Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Element, not if the event was bubbled up from a child node.

    • delay Number:

      The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.

    • single Boolean:

      True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.

    • buffer Number:

      Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.

    Combining Options

    In the following examples, the shorthand form on is used rather than the more verbose addListener. The two are equivalent. Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:

    A delayed, one-time listener that auto stops the event and adds a custom argument (forumId) to the options object. The options object is available as the third parameter in the handler function.

    Code:

    el.on('click', this.onClick, this, {
        single: true,
        delay: 100,
        stopEvent : true,
        forumId: 4
    });
    

    Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call

    The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers.

    Code:

    el.on({
        'click' : {
            fn: this.onClick,
            scope: this,
            delay: 100
        },
        'mouseover' : {
            fn: this.onMouseOver,
            scope: this
        },
        'mouseout' : {
            fn: this.onMouseOut,
            scope: this
        }
    });
    

    Or a shorthand syntax:

    Code:

    el.on({
        'click' : this.onClick,
        'mouseover' : this.onMouseOver,
        'mouseout' : this.onMouseOut,
        scope: this
    });
    

    delegate

    This is a configuration option that you can pass along when registering a handler for an event to assist with event delegation. Event delegation is a technique that is used to reduce memory consumption and prevent exposure to memory-leaks. By registering an event for a container element as opposed to each element within a container. By setting this configuration option to a simple selector, the target element will be filtered to look for a descendant of the target. For example:

    // using this markup:
    <div id='elId'>
        <p id='p1'>paragraph one</p>
        <p id='p2' class='clickable'>paragraph two</p>
        <p id='p3'>paragraph three</p>
    </div>
    
    // utilize event delegation to registering just one handler on the container element:
    el = Ext.get('elId');
    el.on(
        'click',
        function(e,t) {
            // handle click
            console.info(t.id); // 'p2'
        },
        this,
        {
            // filter the target element to be a descendant with the class 'clickable'
            delegate: '.clickable'
        }
    );

view source
( element, [position], [offsets], [animate] ) : Ext.Elementchainable
Aligns this element with another element relative to the specified anchor points. ...

Aligns this element with another element relative to the specified anchor points. If the other element is the document it aligns it to the viewport. The position parameter is optional, and can be specified in any one of the following formats:

  • Blank: Defaults to aligning the element's top-left corner to the target's bottom-left corner ("tl-bl").
  • One anchor (deprecated): The passed anchor position is used as the target element's anchor point. The element being aligned will position its top-left corner (tl) to that point. This method has been deprecated in favor of the newer two anchor syntax below.
  • Two anchors: If two values from the table below are passed separated by a dash, the first value is used as the element's anchor point, and the second value is used as the target's anchor point.

In addition to the anchor points, the position parameter also supports the "?" character. If "?" is passed at the end of the position string, the element will attempt to align as specified, but the position will be adjusted to constrain to the viewport if necessary. Note that the element being aligned might be swapped to align to a different position than that specified in order to enforce the viewport constraints. Following are all of the supported anchor positions:

Value  Description
-----  -----------------------------
tl     The top left corner (default)
t      The center of the top edge
tr     The top right corner
l      The center of the left edge
c      In the center of the element
r      The center of the right edge
bl     The bottom left corner
b      The center of the bottom edge
br     The bottom right corner

Example Usage:

// align el to other-el using the default positioning ("tl-bl", non-constrained)
el.alignTo("other-el");

// align the top left corner of el with the top right corner of other-el (constrained to viewport)
el.alignTo("other-el", "tr?");

// align the bottom right corner of el with the center left edge of other-el
el.alignTo("other-el", "br-l?");

// align the center of el with the bottom left corner of other-el and
// adjust the x position by -6 pixels (and the y position by 0)
el.alignTo("other-el", "c-bl", [-6, 0]);

Wraps the specified element with a special 9 element markup/CSS block that renders by default as a gray container with a gradient background, rounded corners and a 4-way shadow.

This special markup is used throughout Ext when box wrapping elements (Ext.button.Button, Ext.panel.Panel when frame=true, Ext.window.Window). The markup is of this form:

    Ext.Element.boxMarkup =
    '<div class="{0}-tl"><div class="{0}-tr"><div class="{0}-tc"></div></div></div>
     <div class="{0}-ml"><div class="{0}-mr"><div class="{0}-mc"></div></div></div>
     <div class="{0}-bl"><div class="{0}-br"><div class="{0}-bc"></div></div></div>';

Example usage:

    // Basic box wrap
    Ext.get("foo").boxWrap();

    // You can also add a custom class and use CSS inheritance rules to customize the box look.
    // 'x-box-blue' is a built-in alternative -- look at the related CSS definitions as an example
    // for how to create a custom box wrap style.

Parameters

  • class : String (optional)

    A base CSS class to apply to the containing wrapper element (defaults to 'x-box'). Note that there are a number of CSS rules that are dependent on this name to make the overall effect work, so if you supply an alternate base class, make sure you also supply all of the necessary rules.

Creates a function to call to clean up problems with the work-around for the WebKit RightMargin bug. ...

Creates a function to call to clean up problems with the work-around for the WebKit RightMargin bug. The work-around is to add "display: 'inline-block'" to the element before calling getComputedStyle and then to restore its original display value. The problem with this is that it corrupts the selection of an INPUT or TEXTAREA element (as in the "I-beam" goes away but ths focus remains). To cleanup after this, we need to capture the selection of any such element and then restore it after we have restored the display style.

( eventName, fn, [scope], [options] ) : Ext.Elementchainable
Shorthand for addListener. ...

Shorthand for addListener.

Appends an event handler to this element.

Available since: 1.1.0

Parameters

  • eventName : String

    The name of event to handle.

  • fn : Function

    The handler function the event invokes. This function is passed the following parameters:

    • evt : EventObject

      The EventObject describing the event.

    • el : HtmlElement

      The DOM element which was the target of the event. Note that this may be filtered by using the delegate option.

    • o : Object

      The options object from the addListener call.

  • scope : Object (optional)

    The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to this Element.

  • options : Object (optional)

    An object containing handler configuration properties. This may contain any of the following properties:

    • scope Object :

      The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to this Element.

    • delegate String:

      A simple selector to filter the target or look for a descendant of the target. See below for additional details.

    • stopEvent Boolean:

      True to stop the event. That is stop propagation, and prevent the default action.

    • preventDefault Boolean:

      True to prevent the default action

    • stopPropagation Boolean:

      True to prevent event propagation

    • normalized Boolean:

      False to pass a browser event to the handler function instead of an Ext.EventObject

    • target Ext.Element:

      Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Element, not if the event was bubbled up from a child node.

    • delay Number:

      The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.

    • single Boolean:

      True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.

    • buffer Number:

      Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.

    Combining Options

    In the following examples, the shorthand form on is used rather than the more verbose addListener. The two are equivalent. Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:

    A delayed, one-time listener that auto stops the event and adds a custom argument (forumId) to the options object. The options object is available as the third parameter in the handler function.

    Code:

    el.on('click', this.onClick, this, {
        single: true,
        delay: 100,
        stopEvent : true,
        forumId: 4
    });
    

    Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call

    The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers.

    Code:

    el.on({
        'click' : {
            fn: this.onClick,
            scope: this,
            delay: 100
        },
        'mouseover' : {
            fn: this.onMouseOver,
            scope: this
        },
        'mouseout' : {
            fn: this.onMouseOut,
            scope: this
        }
    });
    

    Or a shorthand syntax:

    Code:

    el.on({
        'click' : this.onClick,
        'mouseover' : this.onMouseOver,
        'mouseout' : this.onMouseOut,
        scope: this
    });
    

    delegate

    This is a configuration option that you can pass along when registering a handler for an event to assist with event delegation. Event delegation is a technique that is used to reduce memory consumption and prevent exposure to memory-leaks. By registering an event for a container element as opposed to each element within a container. By setting this configuration option to a simple selector, the target element will be filtered to look for a descendant of the target. For example:

    // using this markup:
    <div id='elId'>
        <p id='p1'>paragraph one</p>
        <p id='p2' class='clickable'>paragraph two</p>
        <p id='p3'>paragraph three</p>
    </div>
    
    // utilize event delegation to registering just one handler on the container element:
    el = Ext.get('elId');
    el.on(
        'click',
        function(e,t) {
            // handle click
            console.info(t.id); // 'p2'
        },
        this,
        {
            // filter the target element to be a descendant with the class 'clickable'
            delegate: '.clickable'
        }
    );

This method has been deprecated

4.0 Animates the transition of any combination of an element's dimensions, xy position and/or opacity. Any of these properties not specified in the config object will not be changed. This effect requires that at least one new dimension, position or opacity setting must be passed in on the config object in order for the function to have any effect. Usage:

// slide the element horizontally to x position 200 while changing the height and opacity
el.shift({ x: 200, height: 50, opacity: .8 });

// common config options shown with default values.
el.shift({
    width: [element's width],
    height: [element's height],
    x: [element's x position],
    y: [element's y position],
    opacity: [element's opacity],

Static Methods

Ext.Element
view source
( el, [named] ) : Ext.Elementstatic
Gets the globally shared flyweight Element, with the passed node as the active element. ...

Gets the globally shared flyweight Element, with the passed node as the active element. Do not store a reference to this element - the dom node can be overwritten by other code. Ext.fly is alias for fly.

Use this to make one-time references to DOM elements which are not going to be accessed again either by application code, or by Ext's classes. If accessing an element which will be processed regularly, then Ext.get will be more appropriate to take advantage of the caching provided by the Ext.Element class.

Available since: 1.1.0

Parameters

  • el : String/HTMLElement

    The dom node or id

  • named : String (optional)

    Allows for creation of named reusable flyweights to prevent conflicts (e.g. internally Ext uses "_global")

Returns

  • Ext.Element

    The shared Element object (or null if no matching element was found)
