This is an old thread, but I just found a (kind
of)problem with IlMaestro's solution.
The obvious way to set the html to '' is to call
setHTML. However setHTML invokes a load event, which
is not desirable behaviour when you are destroying the
layer (particularly if you are listening for these
load events). If setHTML could be passed a second
parameter to tell it not to invoke events (like
setSize) then this wouldn't be a problem.
The other problem with setting the HTML to '' is if
you have a layer with lots of children you can visibly
see netscape rerendering each layer. So perhaps the
layer should be hidden before the setHTML happens.
I've found that setting the layer HTML to null when
destroying layers greatly improved netscapes
stability. I think it's definetly worth adding to the
API. I could have a go at it myself but I don't have
access to CVS, how should I submit any changes I've
made?
