Question

Basic functionality in spry would rule!

Here is a problem that should be extremely simple to fix. However ExtJS/Spry left out some basic functionality, like ... accessing a Grids' properties. Take a gander at the documentation (since adobe provides virtually none), @ http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/

Make your way down to ... API Documentation > Ext > grid. You will notice that there are no way to access a grids' properties, such as it's name ....

Do I need to role my own basic functions?

If you can find the 1.x version of documentation that would rule. All I need to do is get the grid's name (cfgrid). Not it's id, just it's name. I must of looked in the wrong place since its, as you say, the 2.1 documentation.


I'm using CF8's built in AJAX features. According to the 2.1 documentation, it is extremely limited. And if 2.1 is better and such then 1.x ... where does that leave the 1.x version?

You're kinda all over the place here.
Are you using CF8's built in AJAX features or did you implement ExtJS yourself?
ExtJS is not Spry.
The link you supplied is for ExtJS v2.1. CF8 is using v1.0 or v1.1 (I forget which). v2+ has major differences over v1.x.
You can pretty much do anything under the sun with ExtJS. It is extremely robust to the point that it can be quite complex. I'm sure that you can do anything that you need to, it may just take some digging over at ExtJS to find it.
