Thanks for the link Moritz,

I'm working my way through your examples from

http://html-formfu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HTML-FormFu-ExtJS/lib/HTML/FormFu/ExtJS.pm

Should javascript.tt2 contain this:

<script type="text/javascript">
Ext.onReady(function(){
  var submitForm = function() {
    form.getForm().submit({ success: function(rst, req) {
       // submission was successful and valid } })
     }
    });
  };

var form = [% form.render %];
  form.render(document.body);
});
</script>

I needed to make these changes to get it to display.

thanks again for your help?
