[Dynapi-Dev] Dynamic Content Loading (IT WORKS)

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

I now have it working in both NS and IE (only win tested) and can't see
any bugs. (I should open my eyes)

Just place all the files in their own directory called "file" in your
libs directory.

Then all DynLayer's will have a new method called setURL:
    DynLayer.prototype.setURL=function(url,js,noevt)

url is the location of the file.
    this can be relative to the current main page or absolute.
    it MUST only be on the current domain, java does not allow external
server downloads
js
    do you wish any found javascript to be executed?
noevt
    do you wish the load events to be triggered?

I like this.  What I see of it anyway.

I think a js window manager + I/O manager + server apps could lead to some
real fun applications.

Would like to see the java source (if it's an option, if not no problem),
and start working on a PHP version of this as well; adding in the two other
components.

Here's the source code.

I don't see what you mean by a PHP version.  There is no way of getting
cominucation between PHP and the browser.

I'm trying to get this working, but I get this error (IE+NS) what am I doing
wrong?

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

oops.  I modified the code to work in dynapi/file instead of afroapi/file.

I figured it would be easier that way.  Check url.js to see where it is looking
for the applet.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Dynamic Content Loading (IT WORKS)

[Jim F. <jf...@tm...>]

Hello, all!

I am very interested in using this technique that Michael Pemberton has
developed, however, I am having difficulty and was wondering if Michael (or
anyone) would be so kind as to get me pointed on the right track?

Here is my code which uses Michael's setURL() technique:
=============================================
<html>
<head>
<title>Site Nav</title>
<script language="javascript" src="javascript/dynapi.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
    DynAPI.setLibraryPath('javascript/lib/')
    DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*')
    DynAPI.include('dynapi.file.io')
    DynAPI.include('dynapi.file.url')
</script>

<script language="javascript">
DynAPI.onLoad = function() {
    siteNavLayer = new DynLayer(0,0,400,40)
    siteNavLayer.setURL('test.htm',false,false)   // no js, no evt
    DynAPI.document.addChild(siteNavLayer)
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>
=============================================

This returns a page with

         [object Object]

contained in the layer.

I have no doubt that I am doing something wrong that is embarrasingly
simple.

Incidentally, the files referred to in the include statement are the ones
that Michael had in his file.zip attached to his e-mail of 2/21, and the
HTML file I am using in setURL() is the HTML equivalent of "Hello World")
(i.e., very simple, no javascript).

Please advise.

-- Thanks! --

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Dynamic Content Loading (IT WORKS)

[Richard E. <emb...@co...>]

I am working on the same thing and after much culling I have the following
test file:

  <head>
    <title>URL Load</title>
  </head>
  <body>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
content = " \
MyalertCnt=0; \
Myalert=function(s){ \
    s=(MyalertCnt++)+' '+s; \
    alert(s); \
} \
 \
function BASE(){ \
} \
BASE.prototype.getClass=function(){ \
    return 'BASE'; \
}; \
BASE.prototype.XXX=function(){ \
}; \
 \
function DERIVED(){ \
    this.base=BASE; \
    this.base(); \
} \
DERIVED.prototype=new BASE(); \
DERIVED.prototype.getClass=function getClass(){ \
    return 'DERIVED'; \
} \
DERIVED.prototype.YYYY=function(){ \
}; \
 \
var baseObject = new BASE() \
Myalert('baseObject class = '+baseObject.getClass()); \
 \
var derivedObject = new DERIVED() \
Myalert('derivedObject class = '+derivedObject.getClass()); \
";
RUN = function() {
    eval(content);
}
//eval(content);
RUN();


</script>
  THIS IS THE BODY
  </body>
</html>

I started out trying to call eval() on dynamically loaded content without
success. I've reduced
to the above. When the 'content' is evaluated with the call to 'eval(content)'
in the global
context (Netscape 4.76) it works but if the call is to eval(content) within
the function
RUN(), (comment the eval statement and uncomment the call to RUN()),
then it fails - the derived object does NOT have ANY methods!!!

Now, both versions, calling eval(content) at the global level and calling
RUN(), work
for mozilla 6.1. So, there is something funky about Netscape 4.76 that behaves

differently.

This is important (assuming Netscape 4.76 is important) because dynapi is
executed in the
'onload' hook which means that any call to 'eval()' does not take place at the
global
level but rather is nested within a function.

[Raymond S. <dst...@or...>]

Just so you know client Java will require a plug-in DL (6 mb) with the
advent of IE6.  War of the Worlds beginnings soon related to Server-Side
domination.  I would advise strongly against deploying "any" client side
Java.

I guess another way to put it is that if people kiss M$ butt and don't deploy
client side
java then the War of the Worlds is already over.

[Raymond S. <dst...@or...>]

Ah grasshopper, the intention isn't to surrender but find a new avenue of
attack.  Think dynamic client javascript interfaces for I/O with XML
translators to Java server-side apps.

Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Dynamic Content Loading (IT WORKS)

[Michael P. <mp...@ph...>]

you'll see that in my FileIO local file code, I use AxtiveX for IE.  I've have
found no way of doing URL downloading from ActiveX without the use of server
side ASP code.

As someone who has gone to great lengths to limit my exposure to crappy
programming languages, I have NO asp experience and don't won't to force it's
use as the only method of server communication.

BTW: As of NS6, java is a separate download of about 6MB.  Just thought you may
won't to know that.
