[Dynapi-Help] Creating object references to inline layers

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

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
treat them just as if I had created them as DynLayer objects.  Thanks again!

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.

[Dynapi-Help] newbie, how 2 find src of dragdrop event

[Typo-Team p. <put...@ty...>]

Hello mailinglist!
First my thanks to the guys working on this project.
You´re doing a really great job!!!

Couldn´t find anything on that in the archive so I
hope I´m not posting a real dump question....
I´m fiddleing around with drag&drop, used the
dynapi.ext.dragdrop. First prob was, there was a
call to a hasChild method of the DynLayer obj.
Couldn´t find such a method, changed that to
this.children.length. Am i doing something wrong
or was there a change in the DynLayer obj?
Second question: i´ve got two layers, one is dragable
the other is fixed and has got the ondrop listener. Is there
a way to get acces to the object of the dragable layer
in the ondrop function. e.getSource is the source of
the event (which is the fixed layer).
The idea is to generate layers fed with images from a db.
These images should be dragable and if they are positined
on 'hotspots' entries in the db should be changed. Therefor
I need to know which pic was moved over a 'hotspot'

Sorry about writing such a long mail (I´m no native speaker)
but I hope someone can offer some help or hit me on the head
to understand the API better ;-)

Greetings
Björn

[Mark P. <mar...@hi...>]

Sam,

I have encountered this error, but it dissappeared as I continued development on my
widget.
I think the solution is to not use the setURL method until the layer has been added to the
DynAPI.document.
By swopping the last 2 lines of your code, all should be OK.

e.g

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

Good Look

Mark

hi,
It seems to be working ok, I would recommend pre-loading the images from the
main square before showing it,
and preload the images for east/west etc before showing them, so people
don't see the pictures loading,
and if you use different variable names for all the images, it will be much
faster if you go back to a map you

There is a pre-load object in DynAPI afaik, but I have not used it yet, I do
something like this:

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 first 9 images or so.
}
function loadCheck() {

                  showPage()

                  Load.setHTML('<h4>Loading the Image '+(mycount)+' of 2

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

Richard -

Thanks for the suggestions - it turns out that since the images are large,
and there are many of them in each direction, preloading the NEXT set of
images is a poor idea (we've been serving these maps on the Web for a year
now).  There are eight possible navigation directions, and seven of them
will be wrong...

Again, I do appreciate the input!

hi,
It seems to be working ok, I would recommend pre-loading the images from the
main square before showing it,
and preload the images for east/west etc before showing them, so people
don't see the pictures loading,
and if you use different variable names for all the images, it will be much
faster if you go back to a map you
have seen before.
There is a pre-load object in DynAPI afaik, but I have not used it yet, I do
something like this:

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 first 9 images or so.
}
function loadCheck() {
         mycount++;
         if(mycount == 2) {
                 DynAPI.document.deleteChild(Load)
                  showPage()
           } 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+'" >')

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Newbie help with broken IMGs

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

hi,
It seems to be working ok, I would recommend pre-loading the images from the
main square before showing it,
and preload the images for east/west etc before showing them, so people
don't see the pictures loading,
and if you use different variable names for all the images, it will be much
faster if you go back to a map you
have seen before.
There is a pre-load object in DynAPI afaik, but I have not used it yet, I do
something like this:

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 first 9 images or so.
}
function loadCheck() {
         mycount++;
         if(mycount == 2) {
                 DynAPI.document.deleteChild(Load)
                  showPage()
           } 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+'" >')
cheers,
Richard:o)

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Newbie help with broken IMGs

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

Brandon -

Thanks for the test, but the problem does still occur (oddly, I'm using IE5
on Win2K Pro, too).  I have seen this happen on other machines, too.  I have
also seen runs of 20 refreshes without problems, but the problem still
persists; I just tried it again.

I've noticed that when it does happen, the "broken image" icon shows up
instantly.  It doesn't seem to be even trying to download the image at all.

The current version of this application is using the same IMG source (in
non-dynamic ASP pages) to deliver over 150,000 maps a day (without problems)
so it really does seem that the problem stems from the DynAPI
implementation.  Thanks!

[Dynapi-Help] Newbie help with broken IMGs

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

Hi!  I'm building an update to my site with DynAPI and it's working very
nicely to start - nice job!  I'm running into a weird behavior with IMG tags
in my DynLayers.

I'm doing something very simple.  I'm creating a set of DynLayers, and one
of them is a mosaic of IMG tiles.  In the simplest case, it's just a 3x3
grid with 9 IMG tags in it, broken into lines with <BR> tags.  I'm creating
the layer, then using .setHTML once to set the HTML in that layer to a
string of "<IMG><IMG><IMG><BR><IMG><IMG><IMG><BR><IMG><IMG><IMG>".

In IE 5.0, I frequently get "broken image" symbols showing up instead of the
images.  I've seen this behavior in NS 4.7, too, but it seems much less
frequent (but still a serious problem).  This behavior is erratic;
refreshing the page will either fix the problem OR cause different images to
be broken.

You can see a sample page at
http://140.239.165.86/maptools/dynamap.asp?lat=43.443&lon=-72.3796&s=50&size
=s - please let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Help is very much appreciated, as I'm about to go deeply down the DynAPI

[Dynapi-Help] Can't set child layer's visibility

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

I'm having some problem that I'm trying to track down but before I do
that I'd like to know if this has ever been encountered for version
2000.10.24b full.

This is what I'm doing.  I create a widget called PhotoAlbum who has
a child pictureFrameLayer.  PictureFrame in turn has 3 childs called
indexImageLayer, imageLayer and ImageTextLayer.

The Layers are create in my class constructor.  In my onCreate handler
I simply call a function that resizes and sets the HTML for my various
layers.  The problem, not being able to call setVisible, occurs only
when I try to explicitly set the pictureFrameLayer's child.  It just
hangs.

Let me know if anyone needs the code to further determine the cause
of the problem.  I'll zip up everything.

Thanks,

  Eric

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Loading external HTML files into Layers - Once and for all!!

[Mark P. <mar...@hi...>]

Thanks for the response.

I'm a little confused as to what the latest full release is.
I have downloaded the file dynapi20001024-full release, and tryed to apply each release up to
and including dynapi-2000.11.07 by simply unziping the files over the old ones, and at the
dynapi-2000.11.05 stage, changing directory names etc.. as per the release notes but with no
success.

Are we due for another "full" release or is there somewhere that the mechanism to apply each new
version is documented more clearly.

I read in a post a few days ago an idea whereby there is a "stable" version released every so
often, and a "development" version released more frequently. Is this idea to be implemented?

I also noticed that the onCreate method had been depricated when trying to apply the loadPanel
stuff to my "development" version of DynAPI but to no avail, hence my post based on an older
release.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Loading external HTML files into Layers - Once and for all!!

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

One thing I noticed in your code was the onCreate method. In the
latest version of the DynAPI this will no longer work. You will need
to use eventlisteners.

The LoadPanel extension is not far from working.  It currently works
ok in IE 5 and NS 4.  Hopefully it will be finished soon.

[Dynapi-Help] Loading external HTML files into Layers - Once and for all!!

[Mark P. <mar...@hi...>]

Hello All,

Although I've closely been following and working with the development of DynAPI 2 over the
past few weeks, this is my first post to the list. As such, I'd like to take the
opportunity to congratulate you on the project and wish you continued success in the
future. Well Done.

OK, with that out of the way, on to my problem.

I have developed a tabset widget, which appears to work great on IE and NS, apart from
when it comes to loading an external HTML file (or JSP) onto one or more of the tabs,
instead of using the setHTML method on each of the layers.

This is only "sort of" working on Netscape 4.73 (it randomly loads some or all of the
pages onto the layers), and does not work at all on IE 5.5.
Try loading the page a few times in NS. Each time the pages which are loaded are
different!!

I have attached a zip of the files I have been working with, and hope someone can give me
a definitive answer as to how the DynAPI 2 is to handle this situation. I have played with
Dan's loadPanel extension, with no success. If anyone has already developed this widget or
similar, please let me know.

For the record, my OS is Win95.

Many Thanks

Mark Pratt

It seems that pageX & pageY have different behavior in IE4 and IE5.0 when
the page is scrolled.
In IE5.0 pageX & pageY return the mouse position within the window

see attached file: this page dispaly the different x,y from the event :
pageX/Y, e.x/y, e.orig.x/y ....
on IE4 when the page is scrolled down I don't know how to get the window x &
y mouse position.

On NS it is eratic with a very slow setHTML()

I come back to the question : how to get the true x,y window position so
that I can display something
nearby the mouse position in any situation (was the mouse on a div or not)

Thanks for help.

Daniel.

[Dynapi-Help] Fade Script in IE 4

I have a fade script working in IE 5 and Netscape 4.x but IE 4 does not
work.

if any one knows why this does not work in IE 4 I would be very
grateful.
I put the textarea in at the last as a debug helper.  I dont think that
it even runs my startItUp() function.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Document events.

[Brandon M. <tr...@us...>]

e.x and e.y are the positions of the mouse relative to the e.src object.

e.pageX and e.pageY are the exact locations of the mouse relative to the
upper left corner of the document window (not the browser window).

Hope this helps.

[Dynapi-Help] Document events.

[Daniel H. <dhe...@ya...>]

Ok this is nearly perfect.

But when I get the e.x & e.y I am not what I expected : that is  the current
position of the mouse on the screen
(I would like to display on the fly popup hints ... at the current mouse
position)

What are the exact definition of
e.x, e.y
e.pageX and e.pageY

Maybe it is somewhere in the doc ?

Thanks.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] document events

[Daniel H. <dhe...@ya...>]

I use ... IE 4.0, IE 4.5, NS 4.5 & 4.7
It works fine with the new version ... 
I though I had a good version (dated 30 October)
Things are going very fast ... congratulation ...
thanks a lot

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

what browser are you using, and which platform? (win, mac, linux)

your attached code works perfectly without using the <div>
