i'm using extjs pop window simple edit form, on pressing submit button, no xhr call made , this.form.el.dom undefined error reported in console.

here's code:

var mynamespace = new function(){     var editform, editwindow;      this.init = function(){          ext.ajax.request({             url: '/server/action.php',             success: function(result){                 console.log('ajax working ok');  //             }         });          editform = new ext.form.formpanel({             width:450,             autoheight: true,             header : false,             items:  [{                 name: 'color',                  fieldlabel: 'color',                  xtype: 'textfield',                  value: 'blue'             }],             buttons: [{                 text:"submit",                 scope: this,  // tried without this,                 handler: function(){                     // editform.getform().getvalues() returns normal values                     editform.getform().submit({                         url: '/server/action.php',                         success: function(form, action) {                             console.log('yes! success!');  // don't                         },                         failure: function(form, action) {                             console.log('failed.');  // don't                         }                     });                     editwindow.close();  // works                     console.log('the form closed'); //                 }             }]         });          editwindow = new ext.window(         {             title:'enter color',             autowidth: true,             autoheight: true,             layout: 'fit',             modal: true,             items: editform,             closeaction: 'hide'         });         editwindow.show();     };  };  ext.onready(function () {     mynamespace.init(); }); 

any light on subject appreciated , profusely upvoted.

i going issue asynchonous nature of form submital. form closes before response received ajax submit event. try moving editwindow.close() line inside success processing block.
