I've used extjs with cake, too. It's not exactly easy (there aren't a lot of resources for integrating the two), but it can be done. The trick is that cake wants things done a certain way, and you have to figure out how to get extjs to play nice in a cakey kind of way (forms, for instance). I've written a few tutorials on my blog: www.ntatd.org/mark. I don't use any helpers.
I hope that helps some! hydra12 On Apr 18, 6:59 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ExtJS and Cake do indeed work quite nicely together.
