[Dynapi-Dev] Text wrapping and NS4

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

Hi All,

In ns4 I was trying to used a <table> with a width of
100% to force text-wrapping inside a layer. The
strange thing is that after page load I created a
layer, set the HTML and then resize it but the <table>
did not adjust to the new size of the layer.

See the example:

var html='<table border="1" width="100%"><tr><td>This
is an test layer that was created after page
load</td></tr></table>';

dynapi.onLoad(function(){
	var lyr = new DynLayer();
	dynapi.document.addChild(lyr); // note the layer is
created here
	lyr.setSize(50,100);	// change the size
	lyr.setHTML(html);		// set layer's html
	lyr.setLocation(100,100);	
	lyr.setSize(150,100);	// change the size
};


Any ideas, any workarounds? Is this the very nature of
ns4?

PS. I noticed that the same thing occured in DynAPI
2.5

I may have mentioned this before :) Isn't layer size in ns4
fixed? It may look as if the size changes but I think it's
just the clip region extending outside the layers fixed size
which is legal as is observed the content doesn't reflow.
Setting the clip.width value to w is the same as:
clip.right=clip.left+w;
Setting the clip.height value to h is the same as:
clip.bottom=clip.top+h;
There again I could be completely wrong.
