dynapi-help — List relating to using the DynAPI, bug reports, and suggestions

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Re: IOElement/SODA and Java

[Jerry H. <jer...@ho...>]

Hi Andrew,

While Raymond gets up and running, could you send your files to my e-mail at 
jha...@ch....  I would love to see your work!

Have you tried to do SODA-RPC to a database yet?  I'm having some troubles 
with server-side objects.  Any advice you could give connecting to MySQL or 
Access would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jerry

No client-side JVM.  Just the standard DynAPI library. You can build a rich 
browser-based UI that interacts with your server side business logic - no 
page redraws - and no plugins!

No. I would like to establish a DynAPI sub-project  for the servlet, but I 
haven't yet had any response from the dynapi site administrators. My 
alternative is to establish a seperate sourceforge project just for the 
servlet.

Now that Raymond's back  :) , perhaps he may be able to steer me in the 
right direction?

Yes, the DynAPI SODA / RPC mechanism certainly does open some very exciting 
possibilities.

[Dynapi-Help] DynAPI - I'm still here!

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

Hello Everyone,

For the past couple of weeks I've been very busy and
was not able to reply to many of the questions about
SODA or widgets. DynAPI IMO requires full time support
to which I'm not financially capable of doing just
yet. 

I'll be returning to the SODA-RPC and widgets
activities within a few weeks so please don't loose
hope. We'll make it even better!


Best regards,

[Dynapi-Help] SODA-RPC and Databases

[Jerry H. <jer...@ho...>]

I got the SODA-RPC example of the calculator up and running and then tried 
to hijack the fraction function to query a database and return results.

<script runat="server" language="javascript">

function fraction(input)	{
	var rs = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
                return ("Hi");
               //  Other code would normally follow in this section rather 
than the return ("Hi") to query a database and return results
}
</script>

I changed the webservice wsAddMethod to expect a string return value for the 
fraction function.  If one runs the above script, an error dialog box pops 
up (only when clicking the fraction button, all of the other buttons work 
fine) which states: System Error: [Object Error] while executing 
'fraction()'.  To retry the request, click the OK button.

My attempt to create a Recordset Object on the server (and subsequently 
query a database) is sending the SODA-RPC code into stasis.  How does one 
access a database (using ODBC or JDBC) while using SODA-RPC?  Is the code 
actually accepting the runat="server" request (the normal 'fraction()' 
function works fine within this request) or is this the source of my 
problem?

Should I be accessing a database using SODA-RPC or should I be using some 
other technology?

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

Jerry Hammann

Andrew Gillett mentioned on 2003-11-11 that he had created a server-side 
Java version of the SODA-RPC component using servlet technology.

Just to verify, does the servlet interact with a client-side JVM or are 
JVM-less environments supported?

Have the questions surrounding where/how to distribute this server-side Java 
version been resolved?  Where can I get a copy of these files?

I'm very excited to see this in action!

[Dynapi-Help] 3.0.0 (beta1) - Dynamic Frameset - Reminder

[Kevin B. <Kev...@bb...>]

Hello again (this is a reminder),

i still have problems with a dynamicly written frameset;
whenever this frameset gets resized, an error occures in nn4.x
as well as in msie (but not in mozilla) - the error message states:

nn4: "line 45 (dyndocument.js,) - this.frame has no properties"
msie: "line 45 (dyndocument.js,) - this.elm.clientWidth is null or no 
object";

Could you please help me out?

Thanks

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Onmouse over and click

[Jesse V. <je...@6t...>]

António,
   
For Dynapi 3, there's an example in the examples folder:
    dynapi3x/examples/dynapi.api.mouseevent.html
it looks complicated, but take a look at the source, that should help.

you should be able to do something like this:

var botao1 = new DynLayer(20,2,50,150,20,false);
botao1.setClass ('menu-off');
botao1.setHTML('<table width=100% border=0 ceppadding=0
cellspacing=0><tr><td>test</td></tr></table>')

var mouseEvents = {};
mouseEvents.onmouseover = function(e) {
    var sourceLayer = e.getSource();
    alert(sourceLayer.id);
}
botao1.addEventListener(mouseEvents);


I didn't actually run that, but if it doesn't work, it should be pretty 
close.

Jesse

There's an example for onmouseover here:

If you're using Dynapi 3.0, it's a little different, you'll have to look

[Dynapi-Help] Frameset permission workaround?

[Daniel T. <de...@ti...>]

Hi folks!

I have a huge problem with some frameset and pages on diffrent domains. And I thought of you all who are really really good at JS :)

Case:
We have one frameset at www.test.se witch includes a js-file from kalle.test.se. So long it works fine. the js-include from kalle.test.se have a coupple of links and one link opens a popup from kalle.test.se. In this popup there is a link to one other page at kalle.test.se, the problem here is that the link should be opened in the middle frame called "main" on the www.test.se frameset.

We get a permission denied when doing this, even if we call a function that resides on www.test.se that we call.

Is there any way to go around this that you can think of?

best regards
Daniel

Re: [Dynapi-Help] offtopic? IE "clear cover layer"

[Daniel T. <de...@ti...>]

Well in IE 5 for mac the problem is vice versa, if you have a text that lays on a layer, and the layer is "linked" the text will block the mouse events over the text. So here you will need to use a layer with text ontop of that layer.

Regards
Daniel

Re: [Dynapi-Help] offtopic? IE "clear cover layer"

[Jesse V. <je...@6t...>]

Performance of dragging and resizing this layer-with-iframe went to crap 
on Mozilla when I add that extra claer gif though, so I had to add a 
check and only add the clear gif code for IE.  Mozilla doesn't seem to 
resize images very well, things gets choppy.

Everything is working well though, thanks again.

Yes this works very well, and it seams like you will be needing this for ordinary layers if you are using mac ie 5 aswell... So we need to start to learn this tecnique :)

Re: [Dynapi-Help] offtopic? IE "clear cover layer"

[Arijit D. <ad...@pr...>]

IE doesn't consider a layer to 'be there' unless there's content on it, 
as far as I have seen.  A simple work-around would be to place a clear, 
1 pixel by 1 pixel image, in the cover layer and stretch it to the 
layers width and height.

Hope that helps...

Arijit

[Dynapi-Help] offtopic? IE "clear cover layer"

[Jesse V. <je...@6t...>]

I'm not sure if this is really on topic, but you guys know the most 
about this stuff, so I thought you might be able to help out.

I have layer A, which has an iframe on it.  I don't want people to be 
able to click on the website in the iframe at certain times, so I need 
to make a clear cover layer over it.  To do this, I added layer B as a 
child of A, and it covers it completely.

In Mozilla - works great, you can see the page in the iframe, but 
nothing is clickable.

Here's the problem:
In IE - if I make the cover layer a color, then I only see the color, 
and I can't click anything that it's covering, even when I click where a 
link would normally be on the page below, so far so good.  But when I 
change the color of the cover layer to "transparent", then it's like 
it's not there.  I can click right through it to the page below.

Any ideas how to make a clear cover layer in IE?  Or is there someway to 
make an iframe "view only" ?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions,
    Jesse

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Scrolled Regions

Thanks for that. I'll download v3.0 and take a look at the examples.

Option 2: use the dynscrollbar to scroll the content on the right.
There shjould be a scrolling example in the examples folder of the DynAPI 3.x distro

I'd like to use dynapi to provide scrolling capabilities to a page I'm working on but I was wondering whether anyone had tried this before.....let me describe what I need.
 
I have a large web page, you have to use both scrollbars on the browser window to get to all the content. I want to fix the first column so that it always stays on the left-hand side, but allow scrolling to the rest of the content. This would mean that scrolling up and down scrolls both regions (left and right hand sides) and scrolling down and right would just scroll the right-hand side.
 
....does this make sense...?
 
Anyway, I can see how I could do this using dynapi but before I dive in a do it I was wondering if anyone had tried anything like this before.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Matt
