/**
- * @class Ext.container.Container
- * @extends Ext.container.AbstractContainer
- * <p>Base class for any {@link Ext.Component} that may contain other Components. Containers handle the
- * basic behavior of containing items, namely adding, inserting and removing items.</p>
- *
- * <p>The most commonly used Container classes are {@link Ext.panel.Panel}, {@link Ext.window.Window} and {@link Ext.tab.Panel}.
- * If you do not need the capabilities offered by the aforementioned classes you can create a lightweight
- * Container to be encapsulated by an HTML element to your specifications by using the
- * <code><b>{@link Ext.Component#autoEl autoEl}</b></code> config option.</p>
- *
- * {@img Ext.Container/Ext.Container.png Ext.Container component}
- * <p>The code below illustrates how to explicitly create a Container:<pre><code>
-// explicitly create a Container
-Ext.create('Ext.container.Container', {
- layout: {
- type: 'hbox'
- },
- width: 400,
- renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
- border: 1,
- style: {borderColor:'#000000', borderStyle:'solid', borderWidth:'1px'},
- defaults: {
- labelWidth: 80,
- // implicitly create Container by specifying xtype
- xtype: 'datefield',
- flex: 1,
- style: {
- padding: '10px'
- }
- },
- items: [{
- xtype: 'datefield',
- name: 'startDate',
- fieldLabel: 'Start date'
- },{
- xtype: 'datefield',
- name: 'endDate',
- fieldLabel: 'End date'
- }]
-});
-</code></pre></p>
- *
- * <p><u><b>Layout</b></u></p>
- * <p>Container classes delegate the rendering of child Components to a layout
- * manager class which must be configured into the Container using the
- * <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code> configuration property.</p>
- * <p>When either specifying child <code>{@link #items}</code> of a Container,
- * or dynamically {@link #add adding} Components to a Container, remember to
- * consider how you wish the Container to arrange those child elements, and
- * whether those child elements need to be sized using one of Ext's built-in
- * <b><code>{@link #layout}</code></b> schemes. By default, Containers use the
- * {@link Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme which only
- * renders child components, appending them one after the other inside the
- * Container, and <b>does not apply any sizing</b> at all.</p>
- * <p>A common mistake is when a developer neglects to specify a
- * <b><code>{@link #layout}</code></b> (e.g. widgets like GridPanels or
- * TreePanels are added to Containers for which no <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code>
- * has been specified). If a Container is left to use the default
- * {Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme, none of its
- * child components will be resized, or changed in any way when the Container
- * is resized.</p>
- * <p>Certain layout managers allow dynamic addition of child components.
- * Those that do include {@link Ext.layout.container.Card},
- * {@link Ext.layout.container.Anchor}, {@link Ext.layout.container.VBox}, {@link Ext.layout.container.HBox}, and
- * {@link Ext.layout.container.Table}. For example:<pre><code>
-// Create the GridPanel.
-var myNewGrid = new Ext.grid.Panel({
- store: myStore,
- headers: myHeaders,
- title: 'Results', // the title becomes the title of the tab
-});
-
-myTabPanel.add(myNewGrid); // {@link Ext.tab.Panel} implicitly uses {@link Ext.layout.container.Card Card}
-myTabPanel.{@link Ext.tab.Panel#setActiveTab setActiveTab}(myNewGrid);
- * </code></pre></p>
- * <p>The example above adds a newly created GridPanel to a TabPanel. Note that
- * a TabPanel uses {@link Ext.layout.container.Card} as its layout manager which
- * means all its child items are sized to {@link Ext.layout.container.Fit fit}
- * exactly into its client area.
- * <p><b><u>Overnesting is a common problem</u></b>.
- * An example of overnesting occurs when a GridPanel is added to a TabPanel
- * by wrapping the GridPanel <i>inside</i> a wrapping Panel (that has no
- * <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code> specified) and then add that wrapping Panel
- * to the TabPanel. The point to realize is that a GridPanel <b>is</b> a
- * Component which can be added directly to a Container. If the wrapping Panel
- * has no <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code> configuration, then the overnested
- * GridPanel will not be sized as expected.<p>
- *
- * <p><u><b>Adding via remote configuration</b></u></p>
- *
- * <p>A server side script can be used to add Components which are generated dynamically on the server.
- * An example of adding a GridPanel to a TabPanel where the GridPanel is generated by the server
- * based on certain parameters:
- * </p><pre><code>
-// execute an Ajax request to invoke server side script:
-Ext.Ajax.request({
- url: 'gen-invoice-grid.php',
- // send additional parameters to instruct server script
- params: {
- startDate: Ext.getCmp('start-date').getValue(),
- endDate: Ext.getCmp('end-date').getValue()
- },
- // process the response object to add it to the TabPanel:
- success: function(xhr) {
- var newComponent = eval(xhr.responseText); // see discussion below
- myTabPanel.add(newComponent); // add the component to the TabPanel
- myTabPanel.setActiveTab(newComponent);
- },
- failure: function() {
- Ext.Msg.alert("Grid create failed", "Server communication failure");

+ * layout: {
+ * type: 'hbox'

+ * width: 400,
+ * renderTo: Ext.getBody(),

+ * fieldLabel: 'End date'
+ * }]
+ * });
+ *
+ * ## Layout
+ *
+ * Container classes delegate the rendering of child Components to a layout manager class which must be configured into
+ * the Container using the `{@link #layout}` configuration property.
+ *
+ * When either specifying child `{@link #items}` of a Container, or dynamically {@link #add adding} Components to a
+ * Container, remember to consider how you wish the Container to arrange those child elements, and whether those child
+ * elements need to be sized using one of Ext's built-in `{@link #layout}` schemes. By default, Containers use the
+ * {@link Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme which only renders child components, appending them one after the other
+ * inside the Container, and **does not apply any sizing** at all.
+ *
+ * A common mistake is when a developer neglects to specify a `{@link #layout}` (e.g. widgets like GridPanels or
+ * TreePanels are added to Containers for which no `{@link #layout}` has been specified). If a Container is left to
+ * use the default {@link Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme, none of its child components will be resized, or changed in
+ * any way when the Container is resized.
+ *
+ * Certain layout managers allow dynamic addition of child components. Those that do include
+ * Ext.layout.container.Card, Ext.layout.container.Anchor, Ext.layout.container.VBox,
+ * Ext.layout.container.HBox, and Ext.layout.container.Table. For example:
+ *
+ * // Create the GridPanel.
+ * var myNewGrid = new Ext.grid.Panel({
+ * store: myStore,
+ * headers: myHeaders,
+ * title: 'Results', // the title becomes the title of the tab
+ * });
+ *
+ * myTabPanel.add(myNewGrid); // {@link Ext.tab.Panel} implicitly uses {@link Ext.layout.container.Card Card}
+ * myTabPanel.{@link Ext.tab.Panel#setActiveTab setActiveTab}(myNewGrid);
+ *
+ * The example above adds a newly created GridPanel to a TabPanel. Note that a TabPanel uses {@link
+ * Ext.layout.container.Card} as its layout manager which means all its child items are sized to {@link
+ * Ext.layout.container.Fit fit} exactly into its client area.
+ *
+ * **_Overnesting is a common problem_**. An example of overnesting occurs when a GridPanel is added to a TabPanel by
+ * wrapping the GridPanel _inside_ a wrapping Panel (that has no `{@link #layout}` specified) and then add that
+ * wrapping Panel to the TabPanel. The point to realize is that a GridPanel **is** a Component which can be added
+ * directly to a Container. If the wrapping Panel has no `{@link #layout}` configuration, then the overnested
+ * GridPanel will not be sized as expected.
+ *
+ * ## Adding via remote configuration
+ *
+ * A server side script can be used to add Components which are generated dynamically on the server. An example of
+ * adding a GridPanel to a TabPanel where the GridPanel is generated by the server based on certain parameters:
+ *
+ * // execute an Ajax request to invoke server side script:
+ * Ext.Ajax.request({
+ * url: 'gen-invoice-grid.php',
+ * // send additional parameters to instruct server script
+ * params: {
+ * startDate: Ext.getCmp('start-date').getValue(),
+ * endDate: Ext.getCmp('end-date').getValue()
+ * },
+ * // process the response object to add it to the TabPanel:
+ * success: function(xhr) {
+ * var newComponent = eval(xhr.responseText); // see discussion below
+ * myTabPanel.add(newComponent); // add the component to the TabPanel
+ * myTabPanel.setActiveTab(newComponent);
+ * },
+ * failure: function() {
+ * Ext.Msg.alert("Grid create failed", "Server communication failure");
+ * }
+ * });
+ *
+ * The server script needs to return a JSON representation of a configuration object, which, when decoded will return a
+ * config object with an {@link Ext.Component#xtype xtype}. The server might return the following JSON:
+ *
+ * {
+ * "xtype": 'grid',
+ * "title": 'Invoice Report',
+ * "store": {
+ * "model": 'Invoice',
+ * "proxy": {
+ * "type": 'ajax',
+ * "url": 'get-invoice-data.php',
+ * "reader": {
+ * "type": 'json'
+ * "record": 'transaction',
+ * "idProperty": 'id',
+ * "totalRecords": 'total'
+ * })
+ * },
+ * "autoLoad": {
+ * "params": {
+ * "startDate": '01/01/2008',
+ * "endDate": '01/31/2008'
+ * }
+ * }
+ * },
+ * "headers": [
+ * {"header": "Customer", "width": 250, "dataIndex": 'customer', "sortable": true},
+ * {"header": "Invoice Number", "width": 120, "dataIndex": 'invNo', "sortable": true},
+ * {"header": "Invoice Date", "width": 100, "dataIndex": 'date', "renderer": Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer('M d, y'), "sortable": true},
+ * {"header": "Value", "width": 120, "dataIndex": 'value', "renderer": 'usMoney', "sortable": true}
+ * ]
+ * }
+ *
+ * When the above code fragment is passed through the `eval` function in the success handler of the Ajax request, the
+ * result will be a config object which, when added to a Container, will cause instantiation of a GridPanel. **Be sure
+ * that the Container is configured with a layout which sizes and positions the child items to your requirements.**
+ *
+ * **Note:** since the code above is _generated_ by a server script, the `autoLoad` params for the Store, the user's
+ * preferred date format, the metadata to allow generation of the Model layout, and the ColumnModel can all be generated
+ * into the code since these are all known on the server.
