/**
 * @class Ext.form.FormPanel
 * @extends Ext.Panel
 * Standard form container.
 *
 * Layout
 * By default, FormPanel is configured with layout:'form' to use an {@link Ext.layout.FormLayout}
 * layout manager, which styles and renders fields and labels correctly. When nesting additional Containers
 * within a FormPanel, you should ensure that any descendant Containers which host input Fields use the
 * {@link Ext.layout.FormLayout} layout manager.
 *
 * BasicForm
 * Although not listed as configuration options of FormPanel, the FormPanel class accepts all
 * of the config options required to configure its internal {@link Ext.form.BasicForm} for:
 * 

 * {@link Ext.form.BasicForm#fileUpload file uploads}
 * functionality for {@link Ext.form.BasicForm#doAction loading, validating and submitting} the form
 * 
 *
 * Note: If subclassing FormPanel, any configuration options for the BasicForm must be applied to
 * the initialConfig property of the FormPanel. Applying {@link Ext.form.BasicForm BasicForm}
 * configuration settings to this will not affect the BasicForm's configuration.
 *
 * Form Validation
 * For information on form validation see the following:
 * 
 * {@link Ext.form.TextField}
 * {@link Ext.form.VTypes}
 * {@link Ext.form.BasicForm#doAction BasicForm.doAction clientValidation notes}
 * {@link Ext.form.FormPanel#monitorValid monitorValid}
 * 
 *
 * Form Submission
 * By default, Ext Forms are submitted through Ajax, using {@link Ext.form.Action}. To enable normal browser
 * submission of the {@link Ext.form.BasicForm BasicForm} contained in this FormPanel, see the
 * {@link Ext.form.BasicForm#standardSubmit standardSubmit} option.
 *
 * @constructor
 * @param {Object} config Configuration options
 * @xtype form
