Ext JS, Validate 2 number fields in form with a validator

Validate 2 number fields as alternative to a vtype

This post shows you how you can validate 2 number fields (Ext.form.field.Number) in an Ext JS (4) form.

Usually this is done with a vtype (Ext.form.field.VTypes), but this can be done more easily with the validator config setting.

The validator triggers a function that comes with 2 parameters:

• the number field (object)
• the raw value.

It is a bit sad that Sencha didn't think of adding the parent/form as well. I have added a working sample in JSFiddle. To get the first field in a variable, I used:

var form = this.up('form');
var field1 = form.down('#Field1');

Simply using:

var field1 = this.up('#Field1');

doesn't give any results.

Two number fields in a form and the second field (Field Two) have to be equal or smaller than the first field (Field One).
