RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Help With Understanding Events Code

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

I think that's a fix for images,and hrefs catching the event.. they won't
have a lyrobj, so then the
lyrobj of the current layer is used.

not sure if the fix is still needed, but since it's not posing problems I'd
vote for leaving it in
(could cause problems in some strange ways :)

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] IE 5.0 Mac: setHTML with tables not working

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

you most likely need to delay setting the HTML.
Give the browser a chance to finish rendering the layers before you but HTML
into them.

Yep, src will then point to the layer (or document) that triggered the

[Dynapi-Dev] Freeing Memory in IE

[Eytan H. <ey...@tr...>]

I have recently found very interesting behavior in IE 5. I used proprietary
code so I don't know about IE4 and NN4 but I will check soon. I used code to
create many DynLayers (520) inside another dynlayer(myLayer). Then I called
document.body.removeChild(myLayer) the memory didn't budge. Then I minimized
and maximized the browser. Walla! from 13MB to 1MB. (This with the Loop to
nullify the DynLayers for they are still there taking up memory).
Here is the code to test:

====================================
<html>
<head>
<title>DynAPI Distribution: Destroy</title>
<script language="Javascript" src="../src/dynapi.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript">
DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../src/lib/');
DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*');
</script>
<script language="Javascript">
var mLayer;
var a = [];
function dowork(){
for(var i=0;i<101;i++){
a[i] = null;
}
document.body.removeChild(mLayer.elm);

}
DynAPI.onLoad = function() {
	mLayer = new DynLayer();
	mLayer.setHTML("testing memory free in IE");
	DynAPI.document.addChild(mLayer);
	window.status = "ready for action";
for(var i=0;i<521;i++){
a[i] = new DynLayer();
mLayer.addChild(a[i]);
}
}

</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<a href=javascript:dowork()>Start The Test</a>
</body>
</html>
======================================

RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Stability

[Pascal <pb...@oi...>]

Just tested this code (yours had some typo's I think):

DynAPI.onLoad=function() {

	var mLayer;
	var a=[];
	mLayer = new DynLayer();
	DynAPI.document.addChild(mLayer);
	for(var i=0;i<1001;i++) {
		a[i] = new DynLayer();
		mLayer.addChild(a[i]);
		status=i
	}

	alert('done')
}

Notice that it takes a LOOOOONG while to create 1000 layers, the browser is
not responding
because it's busy generating those layers..  it runs without problems on my
system
at work (p3 600mhz 128mb) and it works without crashing (and for your
information, your code
also runs, but doesn't really create any child layers)

Also note that this example is not what you posted on the bugs at
sourceforge, you posted
about the problem occuring while testing your table things.

So as I explained, I couldn't get normal code to crash the browser, or any
of the
other examples.. so it sounded like it was your table widget causing
problems.

Ofcourse it just not smart to generate 1000 layers on one page,
memory problems and speed problems, something we can't fix in the DynAPI
(speed maybe, but not the
memory problem)

hope this clarifies things,

[Dynapi-Dev] Stability

[Eytan H. <ey...@tr...>]

Pascal, you keep complaining that my stability problems are to hard to
recreate. Try IE5 with a page that has this code

DynAPI.onload = function(){
var mLayer;
var a=[];
mLayer = new DynLayer();
DynAPI.document.addChild(mLayer);


for(var i=0;i>1001;i++);
a[i] = new DynLayer();

mLayer.addChild(a[i]);
}
Browser freezes and dies.

RE: [Dynapi-Dev] IS DynAPI II compliant with W3C DOM?

[Pascal <pb...@oi...>]

first, you mean  document.elementName gives an error, or
DynAPI.document.elementName gives an error?
anyway, the document is still the browser's document object, so if it gives
an error it's NS6 doing the problems.

Opera is not supported by DynAPI (yet) it lacks good javascript support (as
far as I'm aware.. can't get things to run on Opera) so has nothing to do
with W3C compliance on the DynAPI side.

We are currently trying to fix as many bugs in NS6 as we can, but alot of
things should already work (as posted earlier today in this post:

"Hi,
Get the current snapshot here:
http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/snapshot/
Install it parallel to what you use now, as it is the beta - work in
progress - release.
A lot of NS6 support has been added recently, and you can feel free to
comment on what works/doesn't work in this version.
If you find a bug in the snapshot version, file bugreport here:
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/index.php

[Dynapi-Dev] IS DynAPI II compliant with W3C DOM?

[<je...@si...>]

Hi,

I found that some of the example in the downloaded package does not
work properly in Netscape 6 and Opera. It seems that DynAPI II is
still not W3C compliant. This is especially true when dealing with layers
and embedded objects. Example, document.elementName will return
that there is no property for this object.

Can someone please shed some light on this? How can I make DynAPI
II fully W3C compliant or I have to give up on the many advantages of
using DynAPI II in order to make my application W3C compliant?

Many thanks in advance!

[Dynapi-Dev] Help with pathanim...

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

Hi Guys,

need help with something...

I have some slide animations to do, but I need to know when the last
animation ends so I can load a page into a layer, using loadpanel.
Something like this:

<a href="javascript:void(null)"
onClick="start_anim('pagetoload');">Whatever</a>
.
.
.
function start_anim(page_url){
	Fillet1.slideTo(null,198)
	.
	.
	Fillet20.slideTo(null,198+19)

	TextArea.setURL(page_url)
}

Now, because the animation "opens" up a space in the page for the text to
appear,
I need to know when ALL the slideTo() end so I can trigger the setURL.
I could use a eventlistener for the all the objects that I'm sliding but it
seems
a very awkward way of doing it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

NunoF

[Dynapi-Dev] [Bug #128419] PathAnimation.run() bug

[<no...@so...>]

Bug #128419, was updated on 2001-Jan-11 02:53
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: DynAPI 2
Category: API Extentions
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Submitted by: marstr
Assigned to : nobody
Summary: PathAnimation.run() bug

Details: a bug in PathAnimation.run() causes PathAnimation.run()
not to stop when the path is finished. 
netscape throws an error: 

can't convert this.x to an integer.

the problem is when this.newX and this.newY
is set in pathanim.js line #92 and #93
after the path is finish this.newX and this.newY
gets undefined as new x and y-values.

i've made a quick-fix just to test:

if (typeof this.newX=='undefined' || typeof this.newY=='undefined') {
	this.stopAnimation();
	return;
}

and put the line after new this.newX/newY values have 
been set. 
it workes, but i suppose a real pach should take 
care and stop the animation earlier in the method.

Follow-Ups:

Date: 2001-Feb-12 02:39
By: nobody

Comment:
When is this behavior visible?
I've worked with pathanim a lot and since the fixes in the latest release I
thought it was ok.
