19 <h1>VBox Layout with Forms</h1>
20 <p>The <code><b>align:'stretch'</b></code> config of the vbox layout manager ensures
21 all child items are 100% of the container width.</p>
22 <p>The <code><b>flex</b></code> config of child items of a vbox layout specifies what share of the vertical
23 space left when unflexed items are accounted for to allocate for that child item.</p>
24 <p>Compare this to <a href="anchoring.html">The anchoring example</a>. That anchors the fields
25 to a hardcoded offset from the edge of the Container. The box layout managers allow much more
26 flexibility in use of available space.</p>
27 <p>The js is not minified so it is readable. See <a href="vbox-form.js">vbox-form.js</a>.</p>
28 <p>This also illustrates the use of plugins to alter the default behaviour of Components. The <b>Send To</b>
29 field clones itself until the final one is left blank to allow multiple mail recipients. The layout
30 manager keeps the vertical space allocated correctly.</p>
