RE: [Dynapi-Help] Event Problems - dyndoc.id

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

the e.srcElement will point to the layer or an image, as far as I know other
html elements don't trigger onmousexx events.

The problem with images is being solved in the creation of the layers by
adding the lyrobj property to every image in a layer (done with normal
dynlayers and inline layers)

I just tested (on an older version of the API) with putting text in a layer
(dynlayer and inline) and the events mouseout and mouseover  triggered
correctly without errors.


Question for Eric, what was the error you got? (not the location, but the
message)

I am afraid the new version has the same problem. Consider the following
code in the DynLayer.EventMethod

=====
var realsrc=is.ie ? e.srcElement:e.target
var which=(is.ie||is.ns5)?e.button:e.which
var src=realsrc.lyrobj||dyndoc
if (!src) return true
=====

if there is html code in the most underlying layer, the e.srcElement points
to an element in that layer. Hence, realsrc.lyrobj is undefined and src is
assigned to dyndoc, and the original layer and the layer between it and
dyndoc cannot get the event.

I change the line
var src=realsrc.lyrobj||dyndoc
to
var src=realsrc.lyrobj||this.lyrobj

and it works for me in an example file (the label from Dan) to catch the
event. But I am not sure if this modification is correct.

Another often mentioned workaround is to add a cover layer to catch the
events. I come into this problem when I test the Dan's new label, which
removes the cover layer.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Event Problems - dyndoc.id

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

EventMethod is called on any mouse event on the corresponding layer or
document.
Try upgrading to the latest version, it might fix some problems with this..

I think the problem might be in your code somewhere.. events should work
normally on inline layers.

Onderwerp: [Dynapi-Help] Event Problems - dyndoc.id


I'm getting errors in IE 5.0  The first occurence is when I move my
mouse over an inline layer.  The second instance is when I click an
image map that is inside a 2 level deep child layer (child layer of
a parent child layer).

When debugging the code using MS Development Environment, it points
the error as belonging to file core.api.events.js:

  src=DynAPI.getDocument(realsrc.dyndoc.id)

The line belongs to the following code block:

  var realsrc=is.ie ? e.srcElement:e.target
  var which=(is.ie||is.ns5)?e.button:e.which
  var src=realsrc.lyrobj
  if (!src) {
    src=DynAPI.getDocument(realsrc.dyndoc.id)
    if (!src) return true
  }

So e.srcElement.lyrobj does not exists.  Why?  The other question
I have is when does this function, DynLayer.prototype.EventMethod,
gets called?

If needed, I can provide the whole code.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Problems with animated Gif

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

Hi Joaquin,

When you use "javascript:" in a hyperlink, animated GIFs will freeze
when you click the link.  The only workaround I know is to use onclick
instead:

Bad:

<a href="javascript:myFunction();" ...></a>

Good:

<a href="#" onClick="myFunction(); return false;" ...></a>

[Dynapi-Help] Netscape 4.75 / 4.76 and Frames - Not Loading DynAPI

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

Hails,
 
Has anyone had any trouble with having DynAPI in a frame, viewing it with
Netscape 4.75 or .76 and it acting like DynAPI.onLoad wasn't even executed?

 
I figure that really it is being run because when I added a document.write()
to the function it did display that (and only that and not the rest of the
page; well it was in the header.)  However, a bunch of the variables which I
set within that function that were global to the page were suddenly not
available (or changed as the matter was) for anchor (<A>) tag onMouseOver=""
calls -- by that I mean that the function called through the onMouseOver
couldn't see the changes that should have happened to the global variables
in the DynAPI.onLoad= function.
 
This may be more of a Javascript question, but I'm still wondering if anyone
has any insight on this. ( In fact I'm about to verify this by attempting to
have these changes occur when the page itself is executed by pulling the
code out of the onLoad and putting it flush through the bottom level
execution. )
 
This problem does not happen in IE 4.x.
 
Kyt.

[Dynapi-Help] Inline Layers and Resizing in Netscape

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

I have a page that contains 5 inline DIVs.  I've accessed each DIV using
DynAPI.document.all["<NameOfDiv>"]. For example:
    generaldiv =3D DynAPI.document.all["generalDiv"];

When I resize the browser in Netscape 4.75, all of my dynamically =
created
layers are recreated, but the inline layers get hosed.  I've tried using =
the
following code to remove them from the DynAPI.document and then re-add =
them,
but it doesn't work. Anyone have a similar problem that they were able =
to
solve?

Jon

---Begin Code---
// Recreate embedded DIVs
function recreate_divs()
{
    generaldiv.removeFromParent();
    generaldiv =3D DynAPI.document.all["generalDiv"];
    generaldiv.setVisible( true );
    generaldiv.setWidth( 300 );

eraldiv.moveTo(=20
        leftpad+rulervert.getWidth()+rulerhor.getWidth(),

[Dynapi-Help] Problems with animated Gif

[Joaquin S. <ca...@el...>]

Hello. I have found a pair of problems on using animated-gif with =
javascript.

The first and most important is this: when a script execute, the =
animation stops. why is this? how can i re-animate them?

Try it. put a simple animated-gif, and a hyperlink to a script that =
simply display an alert-box. The gif stop and it remain stopped all the =
time.

Y have found a partial-solution to this problem. I reload the image =
after the sript, but this dont work if the image was preloaded. why?

This is the other problem... the preload process. I make a "image.onload =
=3D function()" in the preload process. This is usefull to make a "load =
progress bar". But if it is a animated gif, the onload event dont stop. =
the function is called each time the gif moves. this problem make me mad =
to discover!

I have found a solution to this. in the function called, simply put a =
"image.onload =3D null", and it will run properly. Example:

image =3D new image()
image.onload =3D myfunction()
image.src =3D myanimated.gif


function myfunction(){
   ...
   ...
   ...
  image.onload =3D null
}

I hope this can be usefull for somebody with the same problem.

Thanks.
Gracias.

[Dynapi-Help] Event Problems - dyndoc.id

[Eric G. <egr...@ho...>]

I'm getting errors in IE 5.0  The first occurence is when I move my
mouse over an inline layer.  The second instance is when I click an
image map that is inside a 2 level deep child layer (child layer of
a parent child layer).

When debugging the code using MS Development Environment, it points
the error as belonging to file core.api.events.js:

  src=DynAPI.getDocument(realsrc.dyndoc.id)

The line belongs to the following code block:

  var realsrc=is.ie ? e.srcElement:e.target
  var which=(is.ie||is.ns5)?e.button:e.which
  var src=realsrc.lyrobj
  if (!src) {
    src=DynAPI.getDocument(realsrc.dyndoc.id)
    if (!src) return true
  }

So e.srcElement.lyrobj does not exists.  Why?  The other question
I have is when does this function, DynLayer.prototype.EventMethod,
gets called?

If needed, I can provide the whole code.

Stephan and Pascal - thanks again for your response. My last message was 
silly. I tried to strip the problem down to the smallest possible file, and 
in the process almost certainly converted it into a different problem with 
the same symptoms. I'm now going back to a simple version of the original 
problem. As before, this code work properly in IE5.5, but fails in NS4.73.

I am using the 2000.11.07 version of dynapi.js. I assuming in the above 
includes "dynacore" should not be there - I use 
"DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*') " (I tried naming each file explicitly - no 
difference.)

Here is the new code:

Demo.htm:
=========
[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Framesets[[/title]]
   [[/head]]
   [[frameset rows="100,*" cols="*"]]
     [[frame src="menubar.htm" name="menu"]]
     [[frame src="coolpage.htm" name="page"]]
   [[/frameset]]
[[/html]]

Coolpage.htm:
============
[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Cool page[[/title]]
   [[/head]]
   [[body]]Cool page[[/body]]
[[/html]]

Menubar.htm:
===========
[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Demo[[/title]]
     [[script src="file:///C:/Tools/DynApi2/dynapi/js/dynapi.js"]][[/script]]
     [[script]]
       DynAPI.setLibraryPath("C:/Tools/DynApi2/dynapi/js/lib/")
       DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*')
       DynAPI.onLoad=function() {
         coolpage = new DynDocument(parent.page)
       }
     [[/script]]
   [[/head]]
   [[body]]Demo[[/body]]
[[/html]]

In this code, when Demo.htm is loaded into IE, everything works - in NS, an 
error shows up in the javascript: window.

Actually, the same problem occurs even if the onLoad function is completely 
commented out - the problem appears to be solely in the loading of the 
dynapi.js stuff into NS. However, I have no idea where things are going 
wrong at this point.

are you sure you'r using the latest dynapi.js file?

also make sure to add these lines:

DynAPI.include('dynacore.api.browser.js')
DynAPI.include('dynacore.api.dyndocument.js')

which should make sure the DynAPI.document is always available.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] How can I capture de mouse coordinates?

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

you can invoke events using this code:

layer.invokeevent('whatever')

which will spawn an: eventlistener.onwhatever event.
So if you can execute javascript from within Flash this is probably the way
to invoke events.

AW: [Dynapi-Help] Re: Problems with DynAPI2 and Dynacore

[SReindl <SR...@la...>]

It seems that u have to include at least the api package to initialize the
DynDocument.
When I insert the lines

<script>
DynAPI.setLibraryPath('js/lib/')
DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*')
</script>

the error disappears ( my path is shorter, I use local, relative path and
did not check any further).
So, maybe you have to look for TWO errors. One from the missing init of the
api package an another one from within your code ...

Stephan





Stephan - thanks very much for your response. Unfortunately, it hasn't
helped. I have managed to reduce the problem to a much smaller file - just
one this time. And, in the process, caused it to also appear in IE5.5, as
well as NS4.73 as before.

Here is my new source file:

[[html]]
   [[head]]
     [[title]]Demo[[/title]]
     [[script
src="file:///C:/Tools/DynApi2/dynapi/js/dynapi.js"]][[/script]]
   [[/head]]
   [[body]]Demo[[/body]]
[[/html]]

(As before,  I replaced angle brackets with [[ and ]], to avoid e-mail
problems).

I have run this through "tidy" (the W3 Consortium's HTML validator) and it
reports only one warning, that the language type is not specified on the
SCRIPT tag (a deliberate omission, in this case). It also adds a DTD line,
but that is not a problem here.

Both IE and NS report the same error - DynDocument not defined on line 52
of dynapi.js.

In the original file, which has this code plus a whole lot more, only NS
has a problem - IE handles it correctly. I can't see any mismatched braces,
or anything else that could be wrong in this code. If there are any, they
would have to be in dynapi.js - in which case, presumably everyone would be
having problems.

Stephan - thanks very much for your response. Unfortunately, it hasn't 
helped. I have managed to reduce the problem to a much smaller file - just 
one this time. And, in the process, caused it to also appear in IE5.5, as

Thanks a lot for your help. I have just figured out the label widget 
problem - I wasn't setting the size of the label. I had assumed that since 
the label widget does not have w/h parameters, and the button widget does, 
the label widget didn't need the size to be set (presumably figuring out 
suitable values from the size of the caption). With that added, it seems to 
work as expected.

The other problem (Javascript error from Netscape) does not appear to be 
releated to the Dynacore widgets. (The error occurs during the evaluation 
of the first line of the DynAPI.onLoad function,

         coolpage = new DynDocument(parent.page)

I still haven't figured out what is going wrong here.)

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Images in a draggable layer = no drag?

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

that's the trick we used so far, the cover layer catches the events (you
could also call it an event layer)

Re: [Dynapi-Help] How can I capture de mouse coordinates?

[Liam C. <met...@ma...>]

Is there anyway that this method can be used to capture mouse events/invoke
event listeners from a flash movie?

I can get Flash to excecute DynAPI methods using the getURL("javascript:")
protocol so long as they do not need to reference the mouse co-ordinates :

Eg opening and closing layers, but not dragging / sliding.

Has anyone been able to achieve this?

Liam

RE: [Dynapi-Help] How can I capture de mouse coordinates?

[Pascal B. <pb...@oi...>]

you can also add an eventlistener to the dyndocument:

myListener=new EventListener(DynAPi.document)
myListener.onmousemove=function(e) {
    var o=e.getTarget()
        // your code here
}
DynAPI.document.addEventListener(myListener)


Note that once you move the mouse over a dynlayer on the document it will
not trigger on the document.

Hi all!

I recently begin to use the DynAPI2.

I want to make an image that follows the mouse cursor. But I don't know how
to capture the mouse coordinates.

I tried but I only can add an eventlisenter to a DynLayer, and I want an
mouseover event triggered anywhere on the document.

Thanks!

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Events and setHTML.

[Vuksic V. <Vu...@si...>]

hello kit, 
 
i've been facing the same problem and the only quick solution i found, 
is to set some space around the text by
 
    dynlayer.setPadding(1)
 
and using the mouseover-event. 1 pixel is aleady enough.
 
hope it helps

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] Events and setHTML.



Hails! 

I've got an interesting problem/question. 

I'm using setHTML on a DynLayer and then adding an EventListener to it.  I
discovered that on the sections that were affected by the setHTML (i.e. the
parts where the HTML shows up) do not respond to the listener.  I have an
onmouseover and an onmouseout.  They aren't triggered while they are in the
colored section of the layer however when I wander out of them and into the
rest of the layer -- that is when they get executed.

The way that I tested this was I had the layer double-sized (lengthwise) the
mouseover dosn't happen when I enter it from the top or bottom (because that
entire side is covered by the setHTML'd parts) but the sides, which are
BRIGHT YELLOW (so that I know where the layer is at) do trigger the Event
when I move the mouse into them.

Anything that I'm doing wrong with this? 

What I really wanted to do was have the layer vanish when the mouse exited
the DynLayer.  I only added the onmouseover to see if the Events were being
triggered at all.

Much appreciated, 
Kyt.

I tried it in Netscape 6 on a Mac. I'll check more browsers/platforms.
