[Dynapi-Help] Problems with DynAPI2 and Dynacore

[Peter C. <pc...@ca...>]

I am having some problems trying to use some of the features of the 
Dynacore widget package. I'm hoping someone can give me a few tips to get 
going. I am using the 2000.11.7 release of DynAPI2, and (AFAIK) the most 
recent versions of the Dynacore widgets. I'm relatively now to Javascript, 
and while I have spent some time attempting to fix these problems, I've 
probably missed something obvious to someone with more experience....

I have created three HTML files, forming a page with two frames, named 
"menubar" and "coolpage" (working from the DynAPI Tutorial, Part 6).

First, when I try to using my page in Netscape 4.73, I get the following 
Javascript error:

JavaScript Error:
file://C:/Tools/DynApi2/dynapi/js/dynapi.js, line 52:
DynDocument is not defined.

This refers to a line in the loadHandler function. I have tried various 
things to work around this, but no luck. It appears to be a problem with 
the order in which things are loaded, but I haven't found the way around 
it. The stuff works in IE5.5, with the exception of the next problem.

The second problem is that I cannot get the "label" widget to work. Nothing 
appears on the screen, no matter what I try. Most of the other widgets seem 
to do roughly what I expect, but this one, presumably the simplest of the 
bunch, has me stuck. I can work around this in various ways, but I'm hoping 
that getting an understanding of what is wrong here will help me understand 
more of JS and DynAPI2 in general. In the code below, I also include a 
button widget that seems to work fine.

Anyhow, here are the three pages I am using. I have stripped them down as 
much as I can to demonstrate the problems. To avoid problems to anyone 
whose mail client displays HTML, I have changed all less-than characters to 
'[[' and greater-than characters to ']]' - to try the pages you'll have to 
substitute them back. Also, the two path names at the top of menubar.htm 
will have to be changed to match your setup.

Thanks very much for any help. I'm quite impressed with DynAPI and the 
Dynacore package, but they could sure use some documentation!!! Maybe I'll 
get some time to contribute something...

[Dynapi-Help] Loadpanel.

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

I have switched between dynapi-11.10-beta, and dynapi-11.12-beta. (just =
so as you know)

1) loadpanel: the pictures on the page being loaded into the panel do =
not always load
2) No scrolling in Netscape if the panel extends off the page (how do I =
use the scroll widgets?)

3) Loadpanel: in NS I can't get the panel to change size after the =
initial setSize call. -

If I put the setsize call before the setURL call the size doesn't =
change.
If I put the setsize After before the setURL call the panel goes blank =
and I see nothing.

Tried using the latest official release.. as you know.. there is no =
Loadpanel in that version..

I am currently using dynapi-11.10-beta because in version =
dynapi-11.12-beta I get a "too much recursion" error in Netscape.=20

Okay, this is a lovely product and all, but... Where's the consistency? =
Why is code which is okay in one version being touched at all? let alone =
busted in the next?

Please excuse me if I seem to be whining.. I'm on a tight deadline and =
my meds have run out :-^

Re: [Dynapi-Help] scroll - getting mad

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

I think you'll be impressed with the ScrollPane.  Putting a LoadPanel into ScrollPane will effectively give you the same thing as Scroll2 in DynAPI 1.  It is available from: 

http://fury161.dyndns.org/dynapi-2000.11.07-danwidgets.zip

Some changes were made to dynapi.js and dynlayer.js in my version which have since been released as patches to the sourceforge tree.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] DynLayer generating layers with similar names

[thc t. <th...@ya...>]

Hello!

Are you using the latest release of DynAPI2? If so (I
think yes) then you must have readen that currently
DynAPI2 does not allow adding a layer to another layer
once it has been added to another layer or document...

With older releases (e.g. October 24) you could do
that, but now not.

(I hope you understand my bad english, and you could
get a solution...)

I have the same problem, and my solution (it works) is
simple: not to do 'A.addChild(...)' into a layer A (or
widget) once the layer A has been added to another
layer with '.addChild(A)'.

Please reply to me with the solution you have find to
your problem, I will be pleased.

Thank you,

Javier Tejero <th...@ya...>

PS: If the solution is which I told, you can forward
this message to the mailing list...thanks

[Dynapi-Help] DynLayer generating layers with similar names

[Henrik O. <hen...@ad...>]

Hi

I'm working on a popup menu for the DynAPI, but ran into a strange problem.
Somehow the DynLayer manages to make layers with similar ID's. Look at this
code: http://home1.stofanet.dk/fjollekolle/popUpMenu/frameset.html. 

Debug is on to check the dynlayer tree. It shows the conflicting layers with
similar names. Why??

RE: [Dynapi-Help] LoadHTML

[Samuel, M. M <Sam...@ed...>]

I posted some lines that needed to be removed from the loadpanel.js to enable it
to work under IE4.01

Also works under NS4.08+, IE5, IE5.5.

Currently doesn't work under NS6 (final) though there are a few rendering issues
under NS6 (including not correctly populating and rendering a select box in a
layer)

The code...

Original Code snippet:

LoadPanel.prototype.insertInlineElements = function() {
	if (is.ns4 && this.isILayer) {
		this.setHTML('<ilayer></ilayer>')
	}
	else {
		if (is.ie5) this.setHTML('<DIV ID="'+this.id+'loadElement"
STYLE="behavior:url(#default#download)" style="display: none;"></DIV>'); 
		if (is.ie4) {
			if (this.useBuffer) {
				this.setHTML('<IFRAME
ID="'+this.id+'loadElement" STYLE="visibility: hidden; display: none;"
onLoad="LoadQueue.loadHandler()"></IFRAME>');
			}
			else {
				// size iframe to the layer
			}
		}
	}
}

New Code Snippet:

LoadPanel.prototype.insertInlineElements = function() {
	if (is.ns4 && this.isILayer) {
		this.setHTML('<ilayer></ilayer>')
	}
	else {
		if (is.ie5) this.setHTML('<DIV ID="'+this.id+'loadElement"
STYLE="behavior:url(#default#download)" style="display: none;"></DIV>'); 
		if (is.ie4) {

				this.setHTML('<IFRAME
ID="'+this.id+'loadElement" STYLE="visibility: hidden; display: none;"
onLoad="LoadQueue.loadHandler()"></IFRAME>');
		}
	}
}

This has been tested in my app - and currently in production. No errors found
thus far.

I was also getting very frustrated with the same problem.  I ended up
ditching the scollbar and making scroll up and scroll down buttons.  No

[Dynapi-Help] scroll - getting mad

[Daniel K. <dk...@we...>]

hi,

for my current project i have to implement a layer with scrollbars.

first i used the old scroll.js - unfortunately i didn't got it to work in
framesets

then i used scroll2.js which didn't work with ie5.5

now i found a scroll example on http://www.cantir.com which simply don't
want's to work when i try to reproduce it.

i can't find the ibs widgets anywhere - so i downloaded the whole stuff from
the webtree on http://www.cantir.com .

but it simply doesn't work at all.


the best script was always the old scroll.js - it even works with ie5.5.

does anyone know where i find the ibs widget pack or does anyone remember
how to use the old scroll.js with frames?

the whole thing gets quite complicated with concurrent dynapi distributions
and widgetpacks which can't be found anywhere .......

please help me - i have to finish this project and i don't have the time to
go all too deep into the dynapi stuff..

thanks & best regards

Re: [Dynapi-Help] n6

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

Dan forum closed up and pointed here to consolidate users.

I am finding that any widget (pascal's coreskin"toys") and Dan's Label
within a PushPanel are causing issues with NS6 due to internal setHTML's in
the widgets themselves, they appear to overlay or blanket eventlisteners and
in the case of Dan's pushpanel, they never form up and pack() fails.  You
see immense invisible text files attempting to scroll and the up down
controls fail to form.

Opinion is if you resolve the issue in the little pascal widget
coreskincheckbox, it will go a long ways to resolving the issues in more
complex widgets.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] newbie ? re: dragging

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

Try the cover layer trick.

After setting the HTML content (if at all), add a new child layer. Set the
child layer to be equal to the size of the main layer. Re-direct click an
mouse move requests from the child layer to the parent layer.

In a version I'm working with, there is no need to re-direct events.
It's automatic.

[Dynapi-Help] newbie ? re: dragging

[Sam D. <sa...@eb...>]

Here's another basic question. I'm trying to make a layer draggable. I
followed the 
tutorials on dragging:

  DragEvent.setDragBoundary(testlayer)
  DragEvent.enableDragEvents(testlayer)

OK, my testlayer appeared to be draggable in Navigator, but not in IE.
From playing
around with the code it seems like I have to be able to click on the
background of
the layer (eg somewhere where there is no image or table or form
element) to drag
the layer, in both browsers. Is there some way to drag a layer by
clicking anywhere
on it? Or in a specific region of the layer? I suspect I've probably
made some simple
mistake that is causing dragging to behave in this unexpected way, but I
just can't
figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Creating object references to inline layers

Pascal -

Thanks!  That did the trick.  It didn't occur to me to think of that sort of
problem, and I appreciate the insight.  It's working fine now.

The strange thing is that this method:

myLayer = DynAPI.document.all['mapLayer']

should work.. maybe the problem you'r having is that you name your variable
also mapLayer (the same as the inline layer) I think IE chokes on that, so
try using another name for it.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Another newbie ? re: setURL() in IE answered!

[Sam D. <sa...@eb...>]

Mark,

Thanks a ton! For anybody browsing the archives or anything, Mark's fix
worked. To repeat,
use setURL() -after- you've added the layer to the DynAPI.document
object. Thanks again!

It looks like I'm going to have to create my layers as inline layers and
then try to use DynAPI object wrappers around them.  That's not too bad, but
I'm most interested in using DynAPI for event handling, and I'm having
trouble creating an appropriate object reference to an inline layer.

The tutorial (section 5)describes the following usage for using DynAPI
methods on inline layers (I'm getting the X coordinate of an inline layer
named "mapLayer"):

DynAPI.document.all['mapLayer'].getX ()

and this works fine.  However, I can't figure out how to create an object
reference to this layer so I can pass it as a parameter when needed -
specifically, I need to create an event listener and

	mapListener = new EventListener (DynAPI.document.all['mapLayer']);

doesn't work.  Neither does:

	mapLayer = DynAPI.document.all['mapLayer'];

and I can't figure out why.  I'm digging through the source, but sage
pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.  I'm in the
general position of having to create just about all of my layers as inline
layers, but I'd then like to create DynAPI objects that wrap them so I can

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] Another newbie ? re: setURL() in IE


Hi, sorry to post a newbie question here, but I'm trying to
load an external HTML file into a dynlayer and am having a problem
that I don't think I saw addressed in the list archives available over
the Web. I have one simple layer into which I want to load a simple 
external file:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
DynAPI.setLibraryPath('Core/lib2.0/')

DynAPI.include('core.api.*')
DynAPI.include('core.ext.loadhtml.js')

DynAPI.onLoad=function() {
  testlayer = new DynLayer(null,100,100,143,16,"#ffffff")
  testlayer.setURL("ext.html")
  DynAPI.document.addChild(testlayer)
}
//--></SCRIPT>

This works great in Netscape 4.73, but doesn't work in IE 5.0. I think I 
tracked down the error, but I'm not sure what to do about it. In the
file
"core.ext.loadhtml.js" there is a property called
"DynAPI.setURL.current"
which appears to be initialized to null (last line of the file). This is 
causing an error here on line 18, I think:

15: DynLayer.prototype.onLoad=function(e) {
16:   var lyr
17:   if (is.ie) {
18:     lyr=document.all[DynLayer.prototype.setURL.current].lyrobj
19:     lyr.elm.innerHTML=e
20:   } else if (is.dom) {

I'm getting "document.all[...].lyrobj is not an object" which seems to
fit
with using a null object as a reference into the document.all[] array.
So
the "current" propery should be a layer id tag, but which one? Or am I
way
off on what's happening here?

Anyway, if anybody read this far and knows how to make this work in 
IE, I'd be immensely grateful for any help. If this is a known bug
that's
being worked on that's not up on SourceForge yet, or if I'm doing
something
stupid like not including the right files or something, sorry about the
dumb post, but I would still appreciate a heads up. Thanks!

Sam Douglass

PS The API is awesome, and tremendously useful! Thanks to the
development
team for all the hard work they've put into it.
