Re: [Dynapi-Help] IOElement and cross domain urls

[Bruce T. <blu...@ya...>]

When you say "in synchronous"  what do you mean?  Only at initial page load?  
 
When I think synchronous, I think either a blocking fetch or some how aligned with another thread.  Just looking for a nominclature clarification.

The only way arround this is to use IOElementSync
class or FileReader to access the data in synchronous.

[Dynapi-Help] IOElement and cross domain urls

[Bruce T. <blu...@ya...>]

Maybe I missed this in the docs, but is there a known issue with grabbing a file from another domain?
 
When I grab a file from the same domain as the master page, no problems.  But if the page is on another domain (even if an aliased ip address), it never reads it.
 
here's a test page
 
http://www.bluewolverine.com/fetch_page.html
 
The two urls it trys to grab are
 
local:   http://www.bluewolverine.com/test.html
remote: http://home.comcast.net/~bluewlvrn/test.html
 
same exact test.html file, both load when accessed directly from browser

Re: [Dynapi-Help] FileReader, init function, and advice

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

It's kinda optional. If you setup a timeout and wait
until the page has been loaded then you would not
require the init function as the object would have
already been initialized

That's more intuitive.  Is the init function mandatory or optional?  Looking
at the code it seems like it's required otherwise it doesn't do much.  ;-)
Just a note in the docs about the required init would also be helpful.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] A quick quesion about Widgets

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

I would vote for inside... But thats just me :)

Why i vote for that is because you can add styles after creation, if
that would impact on outer size, that would meen in a tight design, that
layers would crash into eatchother...

Thats why :)

Hello Everyone,

Now that we have css borders working the way they
should in DOM which of the following would you prefer?

1) A Widget's size does NOT include it's border size.
For example, a Button with a size of 16x16 will
actually measure 18x18 due to it's DOM borders.

Or

Well I guess your correct not much thought was put
into it's design. Maybe something like:

var fl = new FileReader();
fl.OnInit(function(){
   // this function is called
   // once the filereader object has been 
   // initialized
   var url = 'mypage.html';
   var rt = this.read(url);
})

How about the above? Is it more intuitive?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] FileReader, init function, and advice

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

The FileReader is basically for opening files on the
server without any server-side scripting.

The init function is called once the filereader object
has been initialized. This is because it can use
either the XMLHttp object or a Java Applet. Applets
can only be accessed after the page has been loaded.

As for what object to use for your page I would have
to say it depends. Both objects have their advantages
and disadvantages. The FileReader is mainly for
reading files (or pages) from the server in a
synchronous form.

I also think it looks a bit confusing at first, at least not intuitive.  I
believe it's just illustrating two things.  First, you have a "hook" in the
FileReader constructor so you can pass a function as an argument.  Second, I
think it shows that you can get the contents of the url using the read
function.  But it's hard for me to absorb, even though there's barely 1kb of
code alltogether.

You are declaring an instance "fl" of FileReader.  You're passing a function
"init" which hasn't been defined at this point.  In the constructor, you're
calling this undefined "init" function, which refers to "fl" which hasn't
even been declared yet.  Somehow it works.  I'm missing some basic
understanding of how JavaScript is parsing this.  Hopefully someone can
explain this to us?

The main problem I'd see is the ioelmsrv.pl file isn't fully tested for
robustness, so please use it and find any bugs and fix them and post a
patch.  :-)  There's currently no ioelmsrv.soda.pl file.  Feel free to
translate from one of the other languages.  I've sort of been working on
these (ASP -> PHP/PL) but have been busy with other little projects and
haven't gotten back to these in a while.

[Dynapi-Help] FileReader, init function, and advice

[Bruce T. <blu...@ya...>]

I was wondering what the point of the init function is in the FileReader?  And what would be the best way to get at the string returned by filereader.
 
My other question is this.
 
What would be the best way to build a page and have only part of the page update from content on a server?
 
In particular, I'd like to have elements in a table update every 30 seconds or so, based on an SQL DB.  If there is a change in value, I'd like to do some kinda of fancy graphic thingy to point it out (secondary issue).
 
Will FileReader be the best approach?  I figured I'd need to access some kind of cgi(perl) or php function that would return a plain text file, maybe javascript code, with the new data, triggering the fetch from javascript every 30 seconds or what have you.
 
Is filereader the best way to do this or should I try to use one of the IOElements directly?
 
Does anyone know of any issues with Apache and cgi scripts that might cause this to fail?  I'd prefer to stay w/perl over php because of the much more elegant DBI module in perl.
 
Thanks in advance for any advise.

[Dynapi-Help] Image Clip Slide Show ( always repeating )

[<to...@ma...>]

Hya,

	I'm writing this email cause I need help about 2 things.

1.	I'm trying build an ImageClip Slide Show but allways changing
the images without any other option. I can onload call the function to
make the slide show one time, but how can I make it an infinite cicle?


2.	The other problem I had was on other page that I havei n dynapi
2.5.7 where I use an external js script for a mouseover effect ( just to
change an imagem on mouse on and mouse off ).


// Roll defined ( like it's on the manual
var p =3D	 {
	oversrc:'imgs/mouse_on.gif',
	downsrc:' imgs/mouse_on.gif '
}

var myImage =3D dynapi.functions.getImage('imgs/mouse_off.gif',32,32,p);

var menu =3D principal.addChild(new
DynLayer(null,0,164,149,326,'black',true,1));

menu.setHTML(document.write(myImage.getHTML()););   // NOT WORKING


HERE's the problem how to I set the rollovers on the layer html? Or how
to I pass the code to that layer, I'm open to sugestions...


Thanx

	Ant=F3nio Godinho



Thanx

Re: [Dynapi-Help] New List, Label and Window Widgets

[Andrew G. <an...@zo...>]

Thanks for the suggestion!  I haven't yet been able to get setAutoSize() to work with PanelBar, but if I can then that would certainly be a much better way of doing what I want.  I'll keep trying...

Andrew.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] How to assign LoadPanel() content to a form element?

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

Try using getHTML():

var lp = new LoadPanel();
...
// some code here
...
lp.addEventListener({
   onchange : function(e){
      var o = e.getSource();
      alert(o.getHTML())
   }
});

Re: [Dynapi-Help] New List, Label and Window Widgets

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

why not use the setAutoSize() function?

var pb = new PanelBar()
pb.setWidth(200)
pb.setAutoSize(null,true);
// ^ now the panelbar should adjust 
// to the height of it's content

Sorry, forgot, not everyone is looking at the updated CVS.  :-)  You should
get the latest nightly snapshot, it'll be there.

If you are using DynAPI 3, you might want to look at the ViewPane example.

dynapi3x/examples/dynapi.gui.viewpane.html


I can't find the viewPane (case insensitive) or "view pane" in the whole
package. That is:

Revised 2003.05.29
Latest version: 3.0.0 (Beta 1)
Please read 3.0.0 ChangeLog
dynapi.sourceforge.net

Now, where can I get the package which contains viewpane?

If you're using the older DynAPI 2, try looking at the ScrollPane example.

dynapi/examples/dynapi.gui.scrollpane.html
