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

[Monica K. <mo...@ko...>]

Hi all,

I'm working on a hierarchical menu project that has to work in:

Windows:
N4.x and up
IE 4.x and up

Mac:
NS 4.75
IE 5.0

So far I'm only having one platform problem :-)

I create a DynLayer and in the oncreate method, I use setHTML. This works
fine until I try to add a table, like this:

layer.setHTML('<table border=0 cellpadding=4
cellspacing=2><tr><td>text</td><td>more text</td></tr></table>')

It works fine with other HTML, including <a href> tags and some other <font>
tags, but won't work with the table tags. Doesn't cause problems in any
other browser that I've tried.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,
Monica

The amazing martin str=F6m posted a solution to this problem last month o=
n the
help list. Check it out:

> uses to write content to DynLayers)
>
> the fix is pretty easy, just include a linebreak, \n
> at the end of the setHTML() call:

> .setHTML('<table><tr><td>jadsfhajshfkjlasdhf</td></tr></table>\n');

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.
