[Dynapi-Dev] About the addHTML() function

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

As for the addHTML() function ....

// Before the page loads you can use addHTML to add
regular html text to the document.
// this will behave similar to the document.write()
function in both ns4 and other browsers
dynapi.document.addHTML('Some Text <b>here Some
Text</b> here Some Text here Some Text here Some Text
here Some Text here');

dynapi.onLoad(function(){

	// After the page has been loaded the addHTML()
function will behave differently in ns4 than in other
browsers.
	// All HTML content added after the page has been
loaded in ns4 will appear at location 0,0
	// while in other browsers it will be appended to the
end of the document.
	// It's best to use the addHTML() to add inline
layers to the document after a page load.

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

	if(dynapi.ua.ns4) dynapi.document.addHTML('<layer
id="myid2" width="100" height="100"
bgcolor="yellow">'+html+'</layer>');
	else dynapi.document.addHTML('<div id="myid2"
style="position:absolute;width:100px;height:100px;background-color:yellow;">'+html+'</div>');

	var lyr = new DynLayer();
	lyr.setID('myid2',true);
	dynapi.document.addChild(lyr);
	lyr.setLocation(100,100);
	lyr.setSize(150,100);
	lyr.setHTML(html);
});


Should we keep the addHTML() function or remove it and
have the users implement their own functions?

I vote that we keep it, face it, eventually netscape 4 will be gone, and
then there won't be a problem anymore.  I won't support scraping a
'newer' feature just because it doesn't work right in a 5+ year
browser.  We could recommend not to use it if you want your webpage to
work entirely correctly in nn4.

[Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer and setClass()

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

Hi,


When using setClass('whatever',true) you should always
create dynlayer with width and height or 0. This is to
prevent dynlayer from attempting to autosize the
layer. 

It was suggested once that we get the width and the
height from the style of the layer, but that might not
be a good thing to do as style sheets can use
different values for width and height:

width:100px; height:100px;
width:100%; height:100%;
width:100cm; height:100cm;

If a layer's style width inside the style sheet was
set to 100% then the dynlayer would report the wrong
size, correct?

Any thoughts on this? Should we document that users
set the width and height to 0,0 when using style
sheets? Or should we enable DynLayer.assignElement()
to first check for a valid css width/height before
calling getContentWidth/Height?

If the size is set in percent isn't there an api  on the div themseves 
to get their actual size ?

The only function that I'm aware of is the
getContentWidth/Height which returns the size of the
layers content. This does not return the real width

See the contentwidth_height.html test page inside the
tshoot/ folder. This is currently inside cvs

object (String, Math, Date and Image)
[-] Fix dynapi.library-load.html example
[*] Modify addHTML()
[*] Separate soda from ioelmsrv.{whatever} to produce
ioelmsrv.{whatever} and ioelmsrv.soda.{whatever}
[*] Rename soda.{whatever} to ioelmsrv.{whatever}
[*] Separate library packages from dynapi.js - now
stored in ext/packages.js
[+] Add getContentWidth/Hight test page

together on adding finishing touches to the core api,
fx, widgets and docs.

Can we have a beta 1 release by middle of May

[Dynapi-Dev] DynAPI Beta Release

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

Hello Everyone,

As mentioned eariler it would nice to try and get a
release of the new dynapi out the the public as soon
as possible. The polls on the dynapi web site are
showing that more persons want to see what 3.0 is all
about. I'm of the believe that we are closing in on a
stable release but would first like to get a beta
version out to the public. Do you agree that we
release a beta 1 to the public?

On another note I would just like to hear how things
are going on the following libraries,etc. Can we have
these in for the beta release? Need more time?

* The new DynArea Library?

* The new Snap Library? - Have not heard from Leif for
sometime now.

* The new TabManager/KeyEvents Extensions/Library?

* Widgets? How far gone are you Doug?

* Documentation? Any updates?

* Anyone working on porting the IOElement server-side
codes to other platforms?

As far as I'm concern, I'm really close to be able to finish it, but I 
just can't work on it right now. I will be able to get back to it next 
week.

I'm working on them, but not making a lot of progress right now.  I'm in
high school and all my classes are rushing to get everything done for
the end of the year, so I haven't had too much time.  I may be able to
get more done after May 8, since that is the day of the AP US History
test, and my history class should be doing pretty much nothing past
that.  I do have a lot of c programming to do for a robot we are
building in tech class though.  I just need more time.  Anyone have a
time machine/some thing to elongate time?

I could help, but the time issue I am having is still there. I know php
and perl.

I understand. It's very important that you secure as
much as you on the exams and course work. The docs
aren't realy necessary for the beta release so there's
no rush.

On another note... Have you ever heard about the
BasicX microprocessor, the JavelinStamp Or the
SitePlayer? Just a few microprocessors that I came
across while doing some research some time ago. The
SitePlayer is my favourite. It's a complete web server
inside a micro chip.

www.basicx.com
www.siteplayer.com
www.javelinstamp.com

Sounds great.


PS. All the best with your exams and school work.

Think I posted to the mailing list what I had a while back.  It should
suffice for an alpha.  Never heard any feedback on it.  Here it is again.
I'm not sure how to post the changes to CVS.  But I also wasn't sure if this
would be "finished" enough for others to poke at.  Here goes nothing.
Documentation is thin, but the very basics are on the example page.  I can
elaborate if necessary, probably want to for a beta release.

http://dynapi:dyn...@dy.../DynAPI/dynapi3x/examples/dynapi.
fx.motionx.snap.html

The code is in the same file as the motionx stuff but it's pretty much
separate.

Yes, we did gave some feedback on it. Check the
archives to see some of the feedbacks:

http://www.mail-archive.com/dyn...@li.../msg05190.html

http://www.mail-archive.com/dyn...@li.../msg05194.html

For CVS updates you can do one on the two:

1) Setup wincvs to work with ssh 

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6841&group_id=1

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=761&group_id=1

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=766&group_id=1

Or 

2) Upload your changes using the patch system fromt
the dynapi website. A developer with cvs setup on his
machine can then upload your changes.
