Do you have an easier piece of code (without the extra stuff in your
dynlayerhelper file etc) that also goes wrong.

Code including personal add-ons can be hard to recreate.

I use dynlayerhelper.js to add borders to my layers.  Nothing special is
done.  Here is the complete code for dynlayerhelper.js:

#######BEGIN#############

function
makeLayerWithBorders(name,xpos,ypos,width,height,color,borderWidth,borderColor,tBorder,rBorder,bBorder,lBorder)
{
	eval( name + " = new DynLayer(null," +  xpos + "," + ypos + "," + width +
"," + height + ",'" + color + "');");
	eval( "DynAPI.document.addChild(" + name + ");");	

	if(tBorder) {
		eval( name + "_tBorder = new DynLayer(null," +  xpos + "," + ypos + "," +
width + "," + borderWidth + ",'" + borderColor + "');");
		eval( "DynAPI.document.addChild(" + name + "_tBorder);");
	}
	
	if(rBorder) {
		var newX = xpos + width - borderWidth;
		eval( name + "_rBorder = new DynLayer(null," +  newX + "," + ypos + "," +
borderWidth + "," + height + ",'" + borderColor + "');");
		eval( "DynAPI.document.addChild(" + name + "_rBorder);");
	}
	
	if(bBorder) {
		var newY = ypos + height - borderWidth;
		eval( name + "_bBorder = new DynLayer(null," +  xpos + "," + newY + "," +
width + "," + borderWidth + ",'" + borderColor + "');");
		eval( "DynAPI.document.addChild(" + name + "_bBorder);");
	}

	if(lBorder) {

Comment:
seems to be a browser bug

NS6 is tripping over the eval() calls in your code. The variables are not
created because NS the parameter is also called NAME... change those lines
to something like this:

eval( 'l'+name + ...... ); 
eval( "DynAPI.document.addChild(l" + name + ");");

And again, next time make the easiest example code you can, because again
this bug was not in DynAPI, but in your own code which could have been
figured out if you took a few seconds to remove as much code as not needed
to produce the error.. something I have now been doing just to fix your
code (not dynapi code)..

rant is ment for everyone and not personal.
