Writing an asynchronous task that takes a parameter (Ext JS 4.x)

See http://www.appfoundation.com/?p=462 on AppFoundation.

I needed to have a timer for each iteration of a loop and I needed to pass in parameters to have it behave differently depending on some loop specific settings. I couldn't find any examples so I resorted to looking through the source code and founds the "args" attribute on the task object.

Displaying an iFrame at 100% height and width in a dynamic Panel (Ext JS 4.x)

Some more work at AppFoundation: http://www.appfoundation.com/?p=453

Ultimately all of this is interacting with the HTML model so as long as you can translate into that you are able to almost anything. There were problems with this in terms of research because of the difference in how iFrames are handled in the various versions of Ext JS. In an earlier version there was even an iFrame component. While there are several components available for other versions of Ext JS, I couldn't get them working in the exact manner in which I wanted so I ended up just taking the simple approach. The simple approach being just putting the HTML tag for an iFrame in a panel.
