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

Re: [Dynapi-Help] The New DynAPI Components are Here! Check out CVS

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Gavin, I keep a personal coy of the CVS which I update manually every few
days.  I just made sure I had a clean CVS after updating, and made a zip
archive with date and time in the filename.  If your need is great and the
SourceForge site isn't working for you for some reason (although it just
worked for me as a developer), you can try and get my copy.  I've got a
virus scanner running, so I am at least 99.9% sure the code won't be
contaminated.  URL: http://dynapi.kicks-ass.net/  The site may go down at
any moment, as I am in the process of working out some hardware issues with
my firewall (at least 1 stick of bad RAM, but which stick, and how many if
more than one?).  But everything is up most of the time otherwise.

Great,

I'm eager to test them out. I'm unable to log in via anonymous cvs however.
Anyone else having any trouble ? The snapshot won't update til later. (When

[Dynapi-Help] The New DynAPI Components are Here! Check out CVS

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

Hello Everyone,

I've managed to finally upload the components that I
have been working on. They're currently in the alpha
stage so don't expect them to work flawlessly accross
browsers.

Please have a thorough look at them along with the
other changes like getContentWidth/Height etc and let
us know what we should or should not do.

Please look at the new StyleManager approach to
creating components and let us have a discussion on
this. Can we come up with other means of doing the
same thing or is the StyleManager way ok?

Here's some info from the quickrefs about the
StyleManager Library:

StyleManager makes it possible to change the
look-and-feel of any DynLayer component by just simply
changing the style of the component. Styles can also
be used to change or enhance the behavior of a
component without having to create or load a different
class or library. 

For example: The Button component provides a set of
basic input/output functions which in and of
themselves do not generate any user interface. For the
Button to be of any use to the user a style must be
applied that will render a user interface.

In times past if the user wants to use a FlatButton,
an ImageButton and a normal PushButton, he/she would
have to load and create three different objects:

var btn1 = new FlatButton();
var btn2 = new ImageButton();
var btn3 =  new PushButton();

With Style Manager only one Button Class is required
and the necessary 
styles:

var btn1 = new Button(null,10,10,100,100);
var btn2 = new
Button(null,110,10,100,100,'ButtonFlat');
var btn3 = 
newButton(null,220,10,100,100,'ButtonImage');
 

Changes

[+] Added new examples (See
examples/dynapi.gui.*.html)

[+] Add Explorer Component

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Dynapi 3x error message question

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Sometimes I think Bugzilla should be the name of the browser not the
resolution software.  ;-)  Guess we could all mail the person this bug was
assigned to, and the QA contacts, and say hey, we still got a bug needs
fixing, and we have a lot of users affected by this, please fix it.  Squeaky
wheel gets the oil... squeakiest wheel gets ignored.  Make sure not to
over-complain.  ;-)

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Dynapi 3x error message question

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Hi,

After searching through my local copy of all the mail messages to the
list -- I had remembered seeing this before -- I found that it's due to a
bug in Mozilla 1.4 (since the beta versions, and apparently across windows
and linux platforms alike).  A bug report was filed with Mozilla, and the
response was it was a dulicate report of the original bug report referenced
below.  Apparently they haven't fixed this yet.  Have you tried with Mozilla
1.5?

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208427

Here's some code that allows you to reproduce the error (and so test newer
browsers).

<script>
function scan(e,elm) {
var r = e.relatedTarget;
while(r && r.parentNode){
r = r.parentNode
//alert(r)
}
}
</script>
<div id="dv"
style="position:absolute;left:100;top:100">
<form name="frm">
<input type="textbox" name="tbox" value="test..."
onmouseover="scan(event,this)"
onmouseout="scan(event,this)">
</form>
</div>

What are these messages? I get a lot of them from mozilla 1.4 under
linux.


Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement.parentNode' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Homepage

hi Daniel,

I vote php!
I think it's more flessible than asp.
Maybe asp has a more efficient OOP, but will be avaible php5 soon (you can already download the beta version from the site).

if you need help ... I'm here :)

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Homepage

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

No problems, I'm pretty easygoing about the list, as I think the others are.
:)  The message just got spilled onto the help list during some fervent
posting.  I don't answer much because I don't know too much.  :)  Poor
excuse, I know.  But I try and answer if I might know, or if it's something
I actually wrote (then I know it).  I'm working on the IOElement stuff,
converting some ASP scripts to PHP and Perl (slowly, but surely).
Technically I don't know any ASP and never wrote any original ASP code, so
I'm learning it bass-ackwards.  ;-)

There's been some chatter on the Dev list about homepage revisioning going
on, and the question was proposed about a possible change of ISPs, but it
looks like SourceForge will meet all our needs for now.  And the usual
chatter about bugs and changes and such.  Not sure if I can even name all
the current active developers, or past contributors.

Maybe an idea for the project, keep an ongoing list of developers based on
"who's comfortable editing which files", and remove stale names if they
haven't contributed in several months to any file in the project, and check
daily to send an alert of orphaned files.  Something like that would be a
good way to generate statistics about which files are being developed the
most and by whom.

I've nothing against this discussion. But I found no information that
you were talking about the dynapi homepage. It all sounds to me like "Hi
everybody, what color do you think I should paint my bicycle?" - without
describing the bicycle and my skill of being a painter at all.
In the first posting by Daniel there was no hint about that.

And, sorry for that, even when DynApi is an excellent tool for the
creation and manipulation of layers - I don' know the names of all the
developers ;-)
Since my subscription to this mailing list last month there where only
answeres by Raymond Irving.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Templates and NS4.7

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

Hi,

This had something to with ill formed HTML, the
<THEAD> and <TBODY> tags

Remember that ns4 is a very strange browser.

This should work in ns4,ie,moz,opera, etc:

<script language="javascript">
	var tableHtml = '<TABLE BORDER="1"
WIDTH="100%"><TR><TD>User</TD><TD>Type</TD><TD>Device</TD><TD>Number</TD><TD>Time</TD><TD>Priority</TD><TD>Trust</TD><TD>Timeout</TD></TR>{@ROWS}</TABLE>';
	var table = new AutoTable( tableHtml,
10,100,null,null,'#EEEEEE',null,'ROWS',dynapi.document
);

table.addRow("<TR><TD>Jason</TD><TD>Home</TD><TD>SIP</TD><TD>2415</TD></TR>"
);
</script>

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Homepage

[Matthias F. <m.f...@iq...>]

I've nothing against this discussion. But I found no information that
you were talking about the dynapi homepage. It all sounds to me like "Hi
everybody, what color do you think I should paint my bicycle?" - without
describing the bicycle and my skill of being a painter at all.
In the first posting by Daniel there was no hint about that.

And, sorry for that, even when DynApi is an excellent tool for the
creation and manipulation of layers - I don' know the names of all the
developers ;-)
Since my subscription to this mailing list last month there where only
answeres by Raymond Irving.


Best regards,

Matthias

Re: [Dynapi-Help] 3x api and text boxes - semi solved

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

It sounds like a cool application of the DynAPI.  Would you consider
releasing a very simplified, generalized version for example purposes or a
demo, for the DynAPI examples pages?  I think it would be a good addition.

In any case, best of luck, and if someone else who reads this thread has
some more input on the topic than I've given, please share it.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Homepage

[C K. <cki...@ne...>]

I think the choice for client-side scripting should be obvious.
The whole site should serve as a working example of DynAPI.

As for server-side processing, that would depend on the web server
we decide on using. I've mentioned that I have web space available
for 4 more domains with unlimited space and resource utilization
on an IIS 5 server, which includes ASP, .Net, Java, PHP, and
CGI(C++ exe, Perl, VB exe). Anyone else have hosting ideas?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] 3x api and text boxes - semi solved

[<ml...@id...>]

My app is an editor for a complex dataset.

Basically it presents a list box of choices, on selection of choices,
a set of listboxes and user inputs pop into existance to the right,
for the various sub choices that are available given that selection

Since the available options are driven by the choices the user makes,
the select and text boxes come and go as the user interacts with the
system.

This is driven out of an xml file which defines the choice space.
The forms are never submitted as such, instead the data is read out
and the main display is updated. That display gets submitted back to
the host.

I will have to make the application modal.

I think this is the same for most browsers and HTML in general.  How is a
browser supposed to distinguish one element from another if they all have
the same name?  It can't.  When the form is submitted to a server, how is
the server side supposed to know about mutiple values assigned to the same
name?  It can't.  Generally speaking, but you can do it in Perl - sometimes.
Likewise with the DynAPI, if all DynLayers had the same name, then the API
wouldn't work.  That's why the API automagically assigns unique names to
each DynLayer.  Something like this would have to be implemented if you want
to have automatic generation of unique names for form elements, or just keep
track of them manually in the code.  It's difficult to understand the
problem without an example, though.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] 3x api and text boxes - semi solved

[<ml...@id...>]

I did some more checking.

1) all of the text boxes had the same element name
2) using getElm() on the HTMLTextBox, returned the same object [as by
   '=='] on all of the textbox's with the same name.

3) changing the names to be relatively unique, solved the problem.

My list boxes just happened to have different element names.

--

I think this is a problem, because it becomes hard to make 'widgets'
that can be replicated on the page, if the element names have to be
unique.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] 3x api and text boxes

[<ml...@id...>]

More info on my text box problem. BTW, I don't have it with
HTMLListBoxes, amendments to them go to the correct list box.

My app is pretty complex and I can't readily section this bit out at
present.

Anyway, I originally had my components in a template. I took them out
because I add and remove the components depending on user
interaction. If they are in the template, the focus and current
selection's are lost when you generate the template.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] 3x api and text boxes

[<ml...@id...>]

How do you wrap a GroupManger worth of HTML Components within a form?
