DynAPI 2 seems to work very well in IE5 on the Mac for me. But then I
haven't used every feature of the API. Netscape 6 has a few problems, but
most things work. A couple of things I have noticed though:

In order for a DynLayer which is completely covered by an image to be
draggable on the Mac, it needs a child layer to catch the drag event.
Unfortunately this also blocks mouse events from reaching the image - title
attributes don't show.

For dragging to work properly in Netscape 4.x/Mac (which, in my experience,
has no problems with JavaScript as someone here stated), event bubbling
needs to be disabled: change line 41 in inc/js/lib/dynapi/api/dragevent.js
from e.setBubble(true) to e.setBubble(false). This will disable the
"click-and-hold contextual menu". Will this have any bad effects?

I did not run into these problems with the "old" Dynamic Duo DynAPI, btw.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Mac users

[Ed M. <Ed...@to...>]

Sam -

I'm supporting Mac users with a DynAPI application (see
http://test.topozone.com) and have had no trouble at all with IE 5 on the
Mac.  I have not completed testing with other browsers but Netscape 6 works
somewhat with only expected, predictable trouble (same as on PC).  I'm
certainly a VERY lightweight user of DynAPI right now, but it's been fine.

Hi everyone,

Are there any other people out there using the DynAPI 2 and targetting
Macintosh users? Things seem OK in the Netscape world on the Mac, but
IE on the Mac appears to be a flaky piece of crap that functions 
differently even from it's Windows counterpart. So, I'm trying to make
things work on the Mac side, starting with the features I need, and I

[Dynapi-Help] image manipulation

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

I am working on a simple Dynapi image extension which will be able to manipulate and control images (image swapping, resizing, etc...)

I am able to change an image's src like this...

//DynAPI.document.doc.images['imagenamehere'].src=myimageobject.src

In IE5.5 and NS5 I am able to change an image's width and height like this...

/*
DynAPI.document.doc.images['imagenamehere'].w=myimageobject.width
DynAPI.document.doc.images['imagenamehere'].h=myimageobject.height
*/

Does anyone know if this works in IE4/IE5 (I currently only have IE5.5 installed) and of a way to do this in NS4?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Mac users

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

Mac ie5 was applauded by the W3C for standards support.  Then good old MS
did a full reversal with ie5.5 for the PC (about the time that the justice
department told them they couldn't muck up the Java api's anymore) so I
think Scott is pointing in a good direction.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Image Preloading & Scrolling content in Skinwindow?

[Richard :o\) <ma...@ri...>]

Hi,
You do need pre-loading, 'cause the buttons change very slowly. (Nice site
BTW)
I waited a little to respond hoping someone would give an example of the
image and preloading object from DynAPI2, which I have not yet seen working.
I do however have another solution:

var mycount=0;
DynAPI.onLoad=function() {preLoad()}

function preLoad() {
        Load=new DynLayer(null,100,100,200,200)
        DynAPI.document.addChild(Load)        //this is used to write
"please wait" message
         pic1 = new Image();
         pic1.onload = (is.ns4b) ? loadCheck() : loadCheck;
         pic1.src = "images/pic1.gif";
         pic2 = new Image();
         pic2.onload = (is.ns4b) ? loadCheck() : loadCheck;
         pic2.src = "images/pic2.gif";
        //add all your images here...
}
function loadCheck() {
         mycount++;
         if(mycount == 2) {
                 DynAPI.document.deleteChild(Load)
                  showPage()    //this replaces what is now in DynAPI.onLoad
           } else {
                  if(mycount < 2) {
                  Load.setHTML('<h4>Loading the Image '+(mycount)+' of 2
images...</h4>')
            }}}

reference the images like this:
picOne.setHTML('<img src="'+pic1.src+'" >')
(although normally referenced images also show faster)

You can see this working in this work-in-progress:
http://sagar.richardinfo.com (choose one with dark background)

On your second question I'm afraid I don't really understand what you want,
do you want to insert a scrollbar, or dynamically resize the window, or is
it a text wrap/nowrap problem?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Mac users

I don't know if this will help, but I heard that IE5 Mac was extremely
W3C DOM/CSS compliant.  Maybe we need to apply DynAPI methods used for
NS6/Mozilla, instead of IE?

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Mac users

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

I am glad to hear of someone else out there that has to support the Mac on
the web.  I only have to support IE on the Mac not NS, due to Netscape's
SEVERE Java limitations on the Mac.  Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot
of good news for you.  Most things in the DynAPI package do not well on Mac
IE.  I have made many posts to this list asking for any assistance possible
but I have not received any.  I suspect there simply are not that many
DynAPI users that support the Mac.  Personally I cannot stand MacOS.  The
hardware is great, the OS blows.  But I work at an educational institution
where the Mac user base is apx 15%.  While small that's still enough that I
have to support em.  I guess I can give you a few pointers that I have
learned...

* Use inline layers whenever possible.  These behave better between IE 4.5
and 5 on the Mac.

* IE 4.5 Cannot deal with nested layers that contain text.  You cannot place
one DynLayer inside another.  This causes an interesting rendering problem
where the text of child layer is displayed twice on the page in different
areas.  I suspect this is actually a limitation of the package not the
browser because only the text is repeated not background colors or images
but I have not received any replies from the list about this.  This one is a
severe limitation for making advanced DHTML applications.

* Test on the Mac FIRST.  If it works there then it will most likely work on
the PC.  I have lost many hours to writing perfect pages only to find out
that 90% of them don't not work on the Mac.

* Animations (slideTo()) seem to run faster on IE 4.5.  Don't ask me why, IE
5 was supposed to have a faster rendering engine.

* When defining a DynLayer(), be sure to specify the width and height.
These currently cannot be left out.  The layer will not resize to the
content placed inside the layer as they do on the PC side.  This again I
feel is a limitation of the package but I have not received any feedback on
my opinion.

* Don't expect too much Mac help from this list.  I think most of the people
on the list are PC people and do not even have access to a Mac for testing.
I'll help you whenever I can though.


Good luck.  I would be interested in any information you have to share about
your experiences with DynAPI and the Macintosh,

How about replace()ing the +'s first, *then* do the urldecode? (Real +'s
should have been encoded as %2B,  I think).

URL encoding just escapes certain characers by converting them to the
hexadecimal equivalent of their ASCII value, preceded by a percent
sign. From RFC 1738, it looks like encoded characters are:

  Control characters: octets 00-1F, >=7F
  Special characters: <>"#%;/?:@=&

  Optionally, these might also be encoded: {}|\^~[]`

It doesn't specically say that '+' should be encoded, but since the
urlencoding scheme uses it in place of spaces, you should assume that it
will be encoded as %2B

example of what I want to accomplish (but without the widget, I use a
simple layermoving script). But I cant seem to find the function that
actually moves the knob, so that I can put in my function that changes
the images height.

Thanks,

[Dynapi-Help] LoadPanel onload question

[Cameron H. <ca...@bi...>]

I'm doing some experiments with the LoadPanel using the DynAPI-2000-11-09
distribution. What I would like the be able to do is set up a handler in my
document that is executed when the LoadPanel completes loading a URL.
Currently I have a handler that copes with oncreate events. That's fairly
straight forward, however if I set up a handler to catch onload events the
same way it doesn't seem to catch anything. I am presuming that the
LoadPanel gives off an onload event as there is an invokeEvent("load") call
in the library code. Is that a correct assumption?

Here's some code that sets up the panel and catches the oncreate:

	this.canvas = new LoadPanel(url)
	this.canvas.setSize(this.getWidth() - this.buttonWidth,this.getHeight())
	this.canvas.moveTo(0,0)
	this.canvas.setBgColor('#ffffff')
	//this.canvas.autoW = false
	this.addChild(this.canvas)

	var l = new EventListener(this)

	// on create, check if need the scroll button
	l.oncreate=function(e) {
		alert("LoadPanel created")
	}

	this.addEventListener(l)

Anyone know where an onload handler fit into the scheme of things here?

I've tried just making another event by doing l.onload = function(e) etc

Any hints appreciated, I haven't really got my head around events yet!

Thanks,

Cameron.

[Dynapi-Help] Escape and Unescape.. (or server.urlencode)

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Could someone please direct me to a chart or list of some sort showing =
exactly what characters are replaced with what codes when you Escape a =
string (encode it so it can go into a URL and is cross platform..) .

You see.. my application combines JS and ASP.. unfortunatly the two =
don't escape/unescape strings quite the same way.. I've gottewn it to =
the point where , when the strings get's to javascript and is unescaped =
all is well except that all the spaces are +'s .. I CAN do a .replace() =
except, well, what if one or more of those +'s are actually ment to BE =
+'s?=20

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Bug in Inline Layers of 7th November Release

[Tarun R E. <ta...@we...>]

Hi Pascal,
There was a patch for it a while back, but it was for the 24th November =
release and besides it used to go into an infinite loop. However after =
you uploaded the patch you also mailed everybody another inline.js =
release. This was the one, that worked properly.
But with the 7th November release the bug came back again. If you have a =
proper working version of the inline.js of the 7th November release, =
could  you please upload it to the sourceforge site again ?

    Hi,
    Just thought I would bring it to the attention of everyone :
     There is a bug for capturing the onClick event in Netscape when =
images are present in inline layers.
    ie, when one creates an event listener for the inline layer
    <div id=3D"bingo"><img blah.blah></div>
    the eventListener does not capture the onClick event (for Netscape).

	Yes , but only if:

	^^^^^^^^ if you have not set "return false" :)

  It stops images from loading .. etc.etc.
