I'm trying to create a layout in ExtJS which has a grid on top and on the bottom left and right sections, a basic parent/child, master/details layout:

wrapper_panel
panel_top
  [grid]
panel_bottom
  [left_area     right_area]

However, the two areas in panel_bottom are on top of each other instead of to the left and right

var left_area = new Ext.Panel({
    region: 'west',
    layout: 'fit',
    width: 100,
    items: []
});

var right_area = new Ext.Panel({
    region: 'center',
    layout: 'fit',
    width: 100,
    items: []
});


var panel_bottom = new Ext.Panel({
    //layout: 'border',
    region: 'south',
    items: [ left_area, right_area ]
})

It looks like this:

If I make the panel_bottom layout: border then the left and right areas disappear pletely.

What do I need to change in the bottom area panels so that they line up left and right?

Addendum

@vimvds, if I add width: 200 or e.g. width: 300, I just get this:

Thanks for the answers, it led me to scrap this and use the table layout instead, which led me to another question how to define percentage instead of absolute values for height/width.

I'd use a Ext.layout.HBoxLayout:

var panel_bottom = new Ext.Panel({
    layout: {
        type: 'hbox',
        align: 'stretch'
    },
    defaults: {
        flex: 1
    },
    items: [ left_area, right_area ],
});

Alternatively you could also use a Ext.layout.TableLayout or a Ext.layout.ColumnLayout:

var panel_bottom = new Ext.Panel({
    layout: 'column',
    defaults: {
        columnWidth: 0.5
    },
    items: [ left_area, right_area ],
});

And what happens if you use :

var panel_bottom = new Ext.Panel({
    layout: 'border',
    items: [ left_area, right_area ],
    width: 200
});
