Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer style sheet class.

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

A point: if you include style= in an element in netscape,
netscape has a tendance to crash.
Using class= and
Using a class object woul dbe better..
I.E. inserting <Style> style object </style> in the document.
I don't know if this can be done dynamically, but I sure a hell hope so.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer style sheet class.

[Benoit M. <mar...@ma...>]

I agree, we need this. The main benefit of having a style object that 
could be used either as a class or a style from a css point of view, is 
that it provides a way to change the properties of that style object at 
anytime, which would then propagate these changes to all dynlayers 
using it.

[Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer style sheet class.

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hello,

I've heard Raymond may be doing something in the area of
dynapi style objects? Sorry if I've got the wrong idea.

Could we have a simple starting point by just passing a class
name to the DynLayer constructor or e.g. lyr.setClass('note').

The string 'class="note"' would be inserted in the div/layer/ilayer
tag before the big 'style="..."' string so we can pick up a
prepared style sheet class from a <style>...</style> section.

[Dynapi-Dev] Using datasource on NS4 Windows!

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hello everyone,

Using the basic datasource example: dynapi.util.datasource.html
i.e no soda or sync I get the following alert error on connecting
to the datasource "Alert! did not find a converter or decoder." I
am a bit puzzled as the message doesn't seen to come from the
dynapi3x. It shouldn't be Java related as soda and sync aren't
needed for the HTTP get. Any help would be appreciated.

I saw the <ilayer> idea in dynapi2. Though I'm not
sure if it's 'inflow' code worked.

I've found that all children get an <ilayer> tag too.
Can we specify 'relative' as below:

-if(this._psition!='absolute') tag='ilayer';
+if(this._position!='relative') tag='ilayer';

If I understand, you are generating <IMG src="..."> tags with no width /
height attributes. If this is so, when the browser renders the page it has
to wait for the whole image to download to work out the inflow / inline
positioning of elements. If there are many images like this then I think
the user may see some local browser / PC performance problems.

The iBook example was based on dynapi 2.9 which can be
downloaded here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dynapi/dynapi-2.9.zip?download

To convert iBook to support JSP you would have to work
on the ibook.asp and io.js server-side files.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Relative DynLayers

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Thanks for the files. They work fine in an earlier CVS
version but not in my new one. I best check I haven't
made a mistake.

There is a typo in dynlayer_ns4.js: p.getOuterHTML()
-if(this._psition!='absolute') tag='ilayer';
+if(this._position!='absolute') tag='ilayer';
Will the ilayer be OK with a position of fixed? 

I can't see a reason to create relative layers after the
page loads but yes for fixed and absolute.

Good point ! You're right, except appending something at the end of the 
document, or add a child layer that would be inline, I don't see either

Many thanks for the feedback. I've implemented the

I can't see why we should do a document.write() after
the page has been loaded. Relative layers should/can
only be created before the page loads, correct? Would
it be of any value to create relative laters after the
page loads?

The example is working great. What Raymond did should work, as long as 
getOuterHTML is updated for NS4 to output an iLayer if the position is 
relative.
Also, in  _create for NS4, we could to test the position. If the 
position is relative, then the code would do a document.write() of the 
getOuterHTML

I had put together a raw example to show what I meant
as I thought Raymond and Benoit were talking only about
fixing an element in the window no matter what the scroll
bar is.. 

This example uses an <ilayer> to give the relative container
and the normal <layer> for the absolute positioned children
in ns4. Any ideas how this could this be used with the new
setPosition()?

[Dynapi-Dev] Relative DynLayers

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Hello,

I've managed to create the setPosition(p) function
which supports absolute, relative and fixed positions.

The insertChild() function was also modified from
insertChild(c,usebp) to insertChild(c,pos, usbp). For
Example:

dynapi.document.insertChild(lyr,'relative');

Please see the attached file for the new changes.

I can't get ns4 to work relative positions, could
someone take a look at the code to see if they can
help?

[Dynapi-Dev] Creating inline dynlayers in <head></head>

[Benoit M. <mar...@ma...>]

Hi

I have a case where I have a onload on <IMG tag that call a setSize on 
a dynlayer. This avoid me to calculate the size of the image server 
side. As I'm trying to move this to use inline layers, when that <IMG 
loads, the onload does 
DynObject.all.myLayer.setSize(this.width,this.height), which means that 
the dynlayer object needs to exist to receive that call. Right now, I 
can have all the dynlayers creation code in the head. Does anyone see 
an issue with this ?
They will still be added as child of the document in the onload.

Thanks,

Benoit

I've needed to have DynLayers with a postion set to Fixed in dynapi2, 
so this would solve it. Netscape 4 doesn't support it, but we could 
simulate it by listening to onscroll to maintain the position.

If you were to call setPosition('relative'), then it wouldn't be needed 
to try to guess what top/left should be, whatever x/y would be.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer containers with style="position:relative;"

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

By default 0 is value used for x,y whenever they are
set to null. 

One way to get relative position is to use
setAnchor(). See
dynapi.api.dynlayer-anchor-anchoring.html for some
information.

The other thing is to create a setPosition() function
that will allow a user to set the position of the
layer inside the document. Or we could simple cause
the DynLayer to not set left/top values if x/y is
null.

Options:
---------
1) Create a setPosition() function
2) Cause DynLayer to not set left/top values if x/y is
null - results to a relative layer.

Which option is more suited for this kind of
functionality?

This method doesn't allow individual top,right,bottom and left settings 
dynlayer_base.js: p.setBorder = function(w,c)
I don't know the core dynapi code well enough to mess around with it.

Did you try using individual borders: border-right: 1px solid blue ?

[Dynapi-Dev] setBorder problem

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hello everyone,

There is a problem with setBorder on Mozilla.
Only the top and left borders are set.

Reading back the elements css after it's been set
results in something like:
In Mozilla
this.css.borderStyle: solid solid solid solid
this.css.borderColor: #000000 #000000 #000000
this.css.borderWidth: 1px 1px 1px 1px
In IE
this.css.borderStyle: solid 
this.css.borderColor: #000000
this.css.borderWidth: 1px
It works OK in IE.

Any ideas?

[Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer containers with style="position:relative;"

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hello everyone,

I may have lost the plot. But I thought if you specified a DynLayer with
x=null,y=null it was given a "position:relative" in the layer/div inline style?
This may have been something dropped from dynapi2.

I was hoping to do:
<body>
<h1>Heading A</h1>
Some html.
<script> dynapi.document.insertChikl(a) </script>
<h2>Heading B</h2>
Some more html.
<script> dynapi.document.insertChikl(b) </script>
Lots more html.
</body>

Children a and b would be relative positioned containers with their own
absolute positioned DynLayer children and so constructing a widget.
Then these widgets/components would flow normally in the page.

Is this possible. Or does everything have to be absolutely positioned on
a page and so no real inline html? Any help with the correct usage of
dynapi3x within an html page would be appreciated.

Kevin.
