JX 0.3 beta released

I have released JX 0.3 beta http://jx.myofiz.com/

It has a quick start tutorial, examples, download and documentation.

A Feed Viewer application developed using JX, jQuery Object oriented extension

I have developed a example feed viewer application using JX. You have to read my previous posts if you havent. The complete application is done with just one config option to the viewport. You can see the demo here.

For the feed viewer application I had to make a few additions to the JX extension.

Added JX.Panel class which has a jxtype 'panel'. It requires two config objects title: and body:. In the demo the feed list and feed summary boxes are JX.Panels.

Also added some methods to JX.Component.
You can set config option scopeThis: true, and all the handler functions will be called in the this scope of the component.
Added function setLoadIndicator(imagepath, width, height) to component.

I overrode the jQuery trigger function for containers, so that custom events are propagated to all its children. eg. in the demo application the feed links triggers the custom event 'loadfeed' on the viewport, and the feed summary panel binds to the loadfeed event. var viewport is accessible everywhere in the config.

Look at the source code of feedreader.html to see how it is implemented.
