[Dynapi-Dev] Updates to DynAPI3x

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

Hello Everyone,

The new setAutoSize(w,h) function is now inside cvs.

It needs to be tested on ns4,ie,opera,mozilla,etc as a
few things might be different with each browser.

Please see the dynapi.api.dynlayer-autosize.html
example for more information.

The DynLayerInline Library now supports the
getBluePrint() function

Please note that I'll be adding a src/gui/images
folder for storing images used by the new DynAPI GUI
components. Only image files for the core api (example
debug,etc) will use the ext/images folder.

I didn't see the new example in cvs. Should things be
tested on ns4,ie,opera,mozilla before a commit to cvs?

I haven't been around much lately so I tried out:
dynapi.gui.htmlmenu-startmenu.html on Linux / NS4
(Windows / NS4 is not the same)

I found the popup menu covers the start button. The writeStyle
doesn't work for borders (remember innerBorder and Frame
class was implemented for NS4 compatiblilty). I'm thinking
maybe writeStyle should write to the DynLayer's doc rather
than the top level document for NS4 <style>s that work.

A quick test on Mozilla shows the border styles don't work
either. Anyway, I sorted this out and commented out the NS4
border stuff so the menus look the same size cross-browser.

On resize in Linux / NS4 the browser crashes when using some
HTMLcomponents eg. progressbar.

I'll double check to make sure.

Yes some testing was done, but I can't test and fix it
all :) Someone might have a better solution than the
one I use so I just put it inside cvs for everyone to
test and help fix the things that I'm not able to fix.

Agree.

In the dynapi.gui.htmlmenu.html example the writeStyle
works fine so I don't understand. NS4 does not support
border-left, etc so some other css border solution was
needed.

Strange on my test with mozilla the borders looked ok.

Strange! I don't have linux/ns4 so someone might have
to help in this area.

Thanks. Are SourceForge using their backup servers for cvs
as it may take a couopke of days to be visible.

It dosen't work in Linux / NS4 as that was why borders
were implemented by adding 4 layers.

It doesn't work because of double sets of brackets {{ ... }}
in the DOM writeStyle. You get away with it in IE? What
machine do you test Mozilla on? My last post had the fix as
an attachment.

I've got a system running Linux and X is installed for local use (no daemon
running).  Mostly I use it text only via ssh.  I can get X working with
Mozilla and look at things, but not sure what I'd be looking for, or if I'd
be able to hack the code.  I'll give it a try later.  If all else fails, I
could look into setting up temporary access to an X server (tunelled over
SSL), so someone with Windows could use an X-Windows client (used to be
something called PC-XWare, not sure what's available now) and look at the
Linux/Unix side of things.

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is somewhat less secure I think, and also
requires hefty bandwidth as it sends the entire desktop graphics instead of
just window positions and keyboard and mouse events like with X.  You'd have
to shrink the window to like 1024x768 and go to 256 color mode, and even
then it would be sluggish at best, even over DSL or cable.  I know because
I've done it several times.  :)

I'll update in a couple days.
