Your drag code doesn't work on internet explorer 5.5
I can´t drag the image.

I have tried with Netscape 4.7 and it's ok.

someone use Flash for something like this and gain the added compatibility
of supporting the Mac and earlier versions of NS and IE?  It's very nice but

Bit of a problem with the skinwindow...  =20

of making a slider for the new dynWindows (again, like the old).

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Scroll2 and List

[Raymond S. <dst...@or...>]

I'm pretty consigned to the fact that doing high-level DHTML (more then move
this, slide that, etc) in IE5 Mac is a fantasy.  Even when we get the page
working bug free it misrenders complex widgets altogether (skin windows show
up "half dressed", not a pretty thing.  On the other hand we've had pretty
good luck with NS for the Mac.

So.... yes it's disclaimer time.  Got Mac?  Get NS!
and hope IE6 beta hits sooooooon.  Any word on the net on this???????
Or,... better yet get a PC!

[Dynapi-Help] NS6

[Matthew S. <PK...@Tu...>]

Hi all,

I just wanted to find out if Netscape 6 is supposed to be supported in the
current release of DynAPI.  In NS6 none of my layers inline or otherwise
seem to want to show up.

[Dynapi-Help] Resizing Netscape and ScrollPane Widget

[Jon <jo...@jo...>]

I have a scrollpane object in a page. When I resize the page in Netscape
4.75, it gets re-drawn correctly, but when I click on an arrow to scroll in
the window, I get the following error:

JavaScript Error:
http://warthog2/dynapi/js/lib/dynapi/gui/buttonimage.js, line 67:

this.doc.images[this.id + "Image"] has no properties.

Any thoughts?  IE5 handles this just fine.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Delete DynLayers onUnload?

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

You should delete them yourself, I've did some tests with it, and it looks
like the browsers actually stay more stable when you remove layers aswell :)


Note to other developers:

I think there should be some code in the DynAPI.unloadHandler that takes
care of this..something like:


DynAPI.document.deleteAllChildren()


It will be hard to do it like this on frame-documents, but maybe we should
keep track of them.. (My new code will do that, because DynDocuments (apart
from main document) won't be added to the DynAPI automatically, they should
be added using the DynAPI.addChild() code placing them all in the
DynAPI.children array, and making it easier to delete all layers created)

[Dynapi-Help] Delete DynLayers onUnload?

[Martin W. <mwe...@pl...>]

Hi, 

I am still excited about the DynAPI, thanks to all who contribute.

Now that I have created some DynLayers, would I want to
deleteFromParent these layers as described in Pascals chapter on
'Creating and deleting dynlayers' when the document unLoads?

Or is this taken care of by some code in the API?

Hi all!!

I've seen in this forum, that exists an API files (DynImages.js or
something similar) that allows to manipulate images, changing it (i.e.
to make rollovers).

In the DynAPI core 2 compressed file, this files doesn't exist...
anybody can help me?? Where can i find it??

Thank you!!

[Dynapi-Help] Scroll2 and List

[Peter L. <com...@op...>]

Hi

Thank you to all contributing developers working on the DynAPI 2
project. Excellent work.

I am a Coldfusion developer and I have been using the scroll2 and list
widgets from DynAPI 1 for a while and will be looking forward to
upgrading to the DynAPI 2 when its officially released. (currently in
R&D)

Try this link: http://www.choice.com.au/calculators/washer1.cfm

a) Leave all options default on the "Your Wish List" page, then hit the
"Find Them For Me" at the bottom of the page.
b) Select two or three profiles (the checkbox), then hit the "Show Me
Detailed Profiles" at the bottom of the page.

The next page has the scroll2 widget loaded by external html and with
customised scrollbar, and page data populated with data from the SQL
Server 7.0 database via ColdFusion as well as the list widget populated
with your selections from the previous page(s).

Some Questions:
1. Will the new scroll widget have optional horizontal and vertical
scrollbars?
2. Will IlMaestro's version of his scroll object have a transparent
background and the ability to customise the scrollbars.

I am thinking of developing a widget to scroll through a series of
preloaded thumbnail jpg images, similar to the gifanim demo, either by a
horizontal scrollbar or VCR type controls. Also the ability to select
the currently visible image to view a larger image or whatever.
Is it possible to do this and has anyone already developed such a
widget? If not I will have to give it a go. New to this so I will need
some pointers first.

[Dynapi-Help] More examples

[Paul K Egell-J. <pk...@ez...>]

I just found Dan's site in my bookmark file, and I'm wondering if there
are more examples for api 1 and 2?

I've played around with api 1, since the examples there was the most
compelling ones;), and it is impressive. When I tried to implement my
own stuff, though, I consistently seemed to break the library down.
Don't know why.

Therefore, since I learn by examples, I need more.

[Dynapi-Help] Developers reference

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

I finally found the time to do "some" typing.. and here's the result :)

This developers reference is based on my new (work in progress) DynAPI code,
so it's not correct for the current official DynAPI model, but with some
tweaking it should be a nice reference for anybody needing more inside
information. The main differences are in the DynObject.. basically you could
see all the DynObject stuff as a DynLayer or DynDocument reference. Maybe
some one can change and shuffle the text abit so that it's correct for the
DynAPI model.

I used the W3C stylesheet and reference style, so this should look familiar
to anybody knowing how to read/use those W3C documents :)


Another note I want to make, and this will probably get some people ticked
off, is the fact that this list is great for discussing problems of the
DynAPI, but I think there's way to much discussions going on and not alot of
actual development.

I mean there are discussions running about adding semmicoloms to every line,
or adding comments into the source files.. I don't think that's real
important stuff, and I'm not going to spend time arguing over those "ideas"
when there are still things like widget-creation, debugging and other
important things that can be done. One thing I will say about it is that I
don't understand why people don't take the time to add those ; characters
them selves, or study the code and learn it that way (that's the way we all
learned it).

...sadly, this is probably gonna cause some more discussions about nothing.

Cya!

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Documentation?

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

I think if the guys spend too much time on doing documentation it leaves
less time to do some developing on the API itself.

A nice solution would be an effort on the part of us, people interested
on having some reference doc up and running, to set up some kind of
collaborative effort, that people here on the list can correct, if
something is wrong, or add to it if something is ommitted.

Though i'm always short on time (who isn't?) things are slowing down now
that we are approaching Christmas, so I'm wouldn't mind starting writing
a bit on this.

What you guys think?

Best,

This is my first post to the list, so please excuse me if I repeat some
things that have already been discussed...

Once upon a time, I used Dan Steinman's DynLayer code from the DynDUO site.
Then a few years passed. Now I'm back, and I've stumbled upon DynAPI2. I've
read through Pascal's tutorials, which I have found to be very informative.
As is stated in the very first tutorial, though, it is apparent the code I
now have in front of me is much different from the code I used once upon a
time.

Although I fear the answer will be in the negative, is there a listing of
all the methods available to the new DynLayer, along with the proper syntax
for each? Nothing fancy, just something like:

moveBy (x,y)   -moves layer to x,y
moveTo (x,y)   -moves layer by x,y
etc.

and things like how to change layer visibility, etc. All I've been able to
find is the tutorials. I suppose I could go through the code and glean the
necessary information that way, but I thought I'd ask first to see if
someone's already done it.

[Dynapi-Help] setHTML, DynLayers, Netscape, and alternate-character sets.

[Kit D. <kd...@cl...>]

Is there any way to change the characterset that a layer that is generated
using setHTML is using?  

I have some layers that are working above on a page using the utf-8 charset.
They work fine in IE but when viewed in Netscape the first time a layer pops
up it changes the characters that it was "covering" into hollow boxes as if
it cannot render the font beneath.

I'm guessing that maybe the setHTML is giving it a different character-set
and Netscape is creating some sort of bug when it tries to re-render the
page beneath.  The layers appear fine, it's the page that starts getting
distorted.  If there is some way to make setHTML or a DynLayer itself has a
charset...?

If anyone has seen this happen before I'd appreciate if they knew what could
be done about it.

Kyt.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] image manipulation

[<mi...@pr...>]

Dan,

I know that this is just an oversite, or just a coding style that I am unfamiliar with, but on line 50 of dynaimage.js you have a method:

/*
DynImage.prototype.getImage = function (imgObject) {
	return this.img;
}
*/

and then on line 61, same method name again, totally different code, but without the 'prototype'...

/*
DynImage.getImage=function(src) {
	var img = new Image();
	img.src = src;
	return img;

Also, I got a kick out of the alert debug that was left in there on line 38 :-) ... a coding style that I AM very familiar with!!

One last question (which is really still the same question repeated):

I assume that in the following line of code you responded with was just a change to make to your dynimage.js, in the set Image method, correct?

Then, create an "update" method which will dynamically change the image's width and height (this was my original question -- how to do this?), or should the update method be rewriting the IMG tag all together?

<!--
 <img src=file border=0 onload=update()>
-->


Thank you (in advance) for your advice,

You can retrieve the size of the image but it must be done after the image has completed loading.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] image manipulation

[Dan S. <dy...@fu...>]

You won't need to write all of this object.  I have a DynImage object that inserts 1 image into layer and can easily change it.

In DynImage I did not yet include auto-resizing to the size of the image, so if you get this working it should be included in DynImage and not as a DynLayer extension (I'd like to move away from having DynLayer do everything because it's not supposed to do everything, only layer management).  You can retrieve the size of the image but it must be done after the image has completed loading.

You write the html with no width/height defined and set the onload handler:

 <img src=file border=0 onload=update()>

In the handler you should be able to retrieve the image's .width and .height properties correctly and then resize the layer accordingly.
