can a SimpleStore populate from a url?

... or is that not how it's intended? Not doing anything fancy, but want the valueField and displayField to come from a remote source. The examples all use a local (of obvious reasons). Do I have to define a Store obj with a reader and everything?

This is how i get the data from sever

Hope it helps.

var mystore=new Ext.data.JsonStore({
									autoLoad: true,
									root:'records',
									totalProperty:'totalCount',            
									fields:["id","name"],
									url:'server url',
									params: {},
									id:"id",
									});
mystore.load();

Reading from a remote source requires a proxy (usually http proxy), and of course a reader for whatever data format chosen (json or xml). JsonStore is of course a preconfigured store that contains an http proxy and a json reader.

Thanks, pokerking - that's exactly what I was looking for. I was also looking at the community manual, and there's some examples of more complex data requests. I think it would be helpful if there was an example of what the format of the data sent should be.

Thanks!
