Re: [Dynapi-Help] need example of inline with child -please, please, please

Does it work in IE? I'm not a Dynapi pro, but I do know that inline layers
are fubar'd in Netscape.

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

The Loadpanel example (dynacore.ext.loadpanel.html) which come with the
Dynapi distro should show you most of what you need.

If your copy does not have the example then you need only ask and someone
will post them I am sure.

I need an inline layer on the page and children to be added to it.  But I can't seem to be able to get the children to show up in the inline layer, they always show up further down the page and visible :-(
And I have some links that need to make one of the child layers visible and the other child layers hidden and need an example of that.

OnClick is not supported on images in Netscape, it is on Links.  If you want
to make a simple image clickable wrap it in an Anchor tag.  Don't forget to
set the border attribute of the img tag to 0 to get rid of that nasty blue
border.

The "javascript:" protocol is probably still seen by the browser as
being a request.  Try using onClick instead and see if that helps.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] targeting a loadpanel with a form

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

Neither of them worked when using the DynAPI. I think they would both work
using the get method. I tried making an example just using html, no
javascript, if I set the name attribute on the iframe tag i can tell the
form to target the iframe. I could get a form loaded in an iframe to load
the form response into the same iframe (using post), but netscape always
loaded the form repsonse into the parent window, not the ilayer. i get the
impression that what I want to do is not possible in netscape 4.

So your form response returns an html page with a textbox in it to the
hidden frame, and in the text box is the content you want to use to update
your widget. I presume that if you are doing this then after you submit the
form you run a function that checks for the existence of a textfield in the
hidden frame. Is that about right?

I thought about trying to use onload, but I can't see how to attach an
onload event to the hidden frame without actually putting the onload
function in the html that is returned by the form.

Onderwerp: Re: [Dynapi-Help] new to DynApi 2


Yeah, but that's pretty old, though :-)
You can probably hack it for your own purposes, though.

To the issue of DynLayers having "focus"...you can simulate that by
creating a focus manager object.  A focus manager has an array that
holds DynLayers you assign to it to manage.  Then, all you have to do is
decide what user actions give a DynLayer focus.  For example, you can
assign a mousedown eventlistener to a DynLayer that invokes a focus
event on the DynLayer. Invoking focus on a DynLayer acitvates the focus
manager.

The focus manager first checks it's array of DynLayers to make sure it's
responsible for the one that was clicked on, then assigns that layer to
the "currently focused item" property.  So if you want to know which
DynLayer has focus, you just get it from the focus manager, something
like "FocusManager.currentItem" or something.

Okay, somebody build it.

[Dynapi-Help] Mouse Position

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

I am having a small problem with creating an event listener that will let me
know the position of the mouse when I click on a link contained in the
layer.  Problem is the link is very large and I need the mouse position of
where the user clicks.  It seems that when the mouse enters the area of the
link it stops triggering the "onmousemove" event for the layer.  Am I
missing something here?  Have I set this up wrong?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Very Basic question

[Brandon M. <bnd...@ho...>]

Not with the proposed change I sent in an e-mail with the subject line:
Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynDocument Plugin?

There is a change which allows DynAPI to not need DynDocument at all.
If DynDocument isn't loaded it's assumed that the other scripts on the page
would never call getDocument, or use DynAPI.document.

As for BrowserCheck, it doesn't rely on DynDocument, so that's a non-issue.
If you want to make BrowserCheck also independent, change the resizeHandler
to not use is.ns4 in the if statement.
Instead, have it check for the layers array. If it exists then perform the
netscape specific stuff. Although many other objects rely on browsercheck.

One more thing, the resize handler should simply return if DynDocument does
not exist.
insert at the first line of resizeHandler:
    if (this.document) return;

By Default, DynAPI.document is false, untill it's assigned in the
loadHandler. If DynDocument doesn't exist, then it will not change the value
from false.

Normal links....
I have always been able to apply an onclick handler.

either by:
    document.links[x].onclick=myClickHandler

or directly in the HTML with all the prior examples that people have sent.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] new to DynApi 2

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

Yeah, but that's pretty old, though :-)
You can probably hack it for your own purposes, though.

To the issue of DynLayers having "focus"...you can simulate that by
creating a focus manager object.  A focus manager has an array that
holds DynLayers you assign to it to manage.  Then, all you have to do is
decide what user actions give a DynLayer focus.  For example, you can
assign a mousedown eventlistener to a DynLayer that invokes a focus
event on the DynLayer. Invoking focus on a DynLayer acitvates the focus
manager.

The focus manager first checks it's array of DynLayers to make sure it's
responsible for the one that was clicked on, then assigns that layer to
the "currently focused item" property.  So if you want to know which
DynLayer has focus, you just get it from the focus manager, something
like "FocusManager.currentItem" or something.

Okay, somebody build it.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Problems with IE mousepointer

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

OnClick is not supported on images in Netscape, it is on Links.  If you want
to make a simple image clickable wrap it in an Anchor tag.  Don't forget to
set the border attribute of the img tag to 0 to get rid of that nasty blue
border.

The "javascript:" protocol is probably still seen by the browser as
being a request.  Try using onClick instead and see if that helps.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Problems with IE mousepointer

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

Huh?  onClick is certainly supported by Netscape:

<a href="#" onClick="someFunction(); return false;">Click me</a>

The return false should prevent the page from chasing the "#" href.

You can also set onclick with scripting:

document.links[x].onclick = someFunction

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Borders

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

Brandon's BorderFactory object also creates nice borders, regardless of
widget type.  And I think IlMaestro's IbsBoldLayer will create a nice 3D
effect.
