I've used ExtJS as a front-end framework for an app i'm working with including OL and I'm loving it. Will let you know and provide a link when it's live. <br><br>I've looked at dojo and in a way preferred ExtJS purely for the fact that it's kinda easier to work with, can sit on top of various other frameworks (eg: YUI, JQuery). And I suppose it was just a personal choice. <br><br>Cheers,<br>-ajay<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Eduardo Patto Kanegae <eduardo.kanegae@inflor.com.br><br>To: users@openlayers.org<br>Sent: Tuesday, 2 October, 2007 5:29:33 AM<br>Subject: Re: [OpenLayers-Users] GUI
