[Dynapi-Help] While working through the Examples in the latest release 001107

[rlb <bl...@wi...>]

All,

Not sure if I'm asking this right or not, but . . . regarding this

     http://64.33.167.222/work/DynAPI/dynapi-2000.11.07/dynapi/examples/dynapi.api.mouseevents.htm

I was trying to see what happened with the Right Mouse events and
couldn't get any of the colors to show (I changed all the colors in the
example to be different) but I did get a Cursor Menu when Right
clicking. Actually I get it on all the new example pages with a layer
object.

I'm using Netscape 4.76

I don't get the cursor menu on any of the other examples from the 001024
(layertut) release, except for the "Frames" example, different menu
though.

Question: what makes/doesn't make, the cursor menu appear?

Re[2]: [Dynapi-Help] document events

Your file worked fine for me.  Document events were caught whether or
not there was a div on the page.  Please make sure you have the latest
version.  You may be using an old version.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] Centering a layer on a page

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

Thanks for that - worked perfectly when I added extra brackets around
(this.document.getWidth()-somelyr.w)/2 - it's that old BOMDAS issue... Was
dividing the layer width by 2 then subtracting this from the document width.

Thanks for the quick reply! :)

Try something like this:
DynAPI.onLoad = function() {
 somelyr = new DynLayer()
 somelyr.setSize(100,100)
 
somelyr.moveTo(this.document.getWidth()-somelyr.w/2,this.document.getHeight()-so

Re: [Dynapi-Help] document events

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

You don't need to modify the EventMethod.  Just use normal
eventlisteners:
DynAPI.onLoad=function() {
        myListener = new EventListener()
        myListener.onmouseup=function(e) {
                alert('Document Clicked')
        }

        DynAPI.document.addEventListener(myListener)
}

[Dynapi-Help] packages

[Benjamin L. <be...@on...>]

Hi,

I downloaded and am using the 10-16 release of dynapi2, which included a
large set of widgets.  I am trying to upgrade to the Nov 05 release but that
release does not include the widgets, examples, docs.  Are those available
in a separate file somewhere?  Specifically, I am using the buttonimage
widget included in the ibs set.  Where can i get the latest versions of
those?  Thanks..

[Dynapi-Help] Hiyas! and IE 4.5 Macintosh

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

We just started using DynAPI lastweek and it is a great library.  We have
not had this level of DHTML compatability between browsers ever before and
it is quite refreshing.  We have been targeting the following browsers
without too many problems:

PC: IE4.0+, NS 4.5+
Mac: IE 4.5, IE 5

We have to avoid some things to make the Mac versions of the browsers but
overall most things work well.  I have two things I want to mention.  One if
I try to instatiate a DynLayer without size parameters IE4.5 on the Mac
throws a JS error when the document.addChild method is called.  If I specify
the size parameters this does not happen.  Unfortunately I really need to
NOT specify the parameters for the current situation.  Since this is just a
simple JS error, looks like when the clipping area is attempted to be set,
it should be easy to fix.

My second problem has to do with what appears to be a rendering problem on
IE 4.5 on the Mac.  This one I am not sure anything can be done about.
Basically it comes down to nesting layers.  As soon as I place a DynLayer
inside another DynLayer I get rendering errors.  Things like duplicate text.
The test will be where it is supposed to be inside the layer, then it will
be duplicated at the same relitive position in the parent layer, then it is
duplicated at the same relative position in the parent document... etc.  If
I stay away from nested layers everything works fine in IE 4.5, but this is
a little limiting... is there anything that can be done on the dev end?

Thanks!

[Dynapi-Help] document events

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

Hi !

I would liket to trap all mouse events on the document.

The simplest way I found is to define a patch into events.js
DynDocument.prototype.EventMethod = function(e)
An add something like
if (defaultEventMethod) defaultEventMethode(e);

Event listener on DynAPI.getDocument() seems to work only when there are
layer in the doc. I would like something even if there are no layers.

Thanks for help.

The latest version is all lowercase.  It is for me anyways.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Re: Howdy

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

It seems that there are some troubles with directory naming
For example, when decrompressing the archive, the core lib comes whitin Core
(upperCased) dir
and the following is not working for IE4
DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../../core/js/lib2.0/')
and you should set DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../../Core/js/lib2.0/')
but core in lowercase it works with NS4 & IE5 ???

May I suggest to set all package names in lowercase as it is in Java.

Daniel.

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

The DynAPI.document is the default DynDocument, it's created to reference
the main document you'r working in (the browser document)

I'm not sure what the problem could be.. the code looks correct (considering
the source ;)

guess, if the other examples after this one work ok (i.e.: inline examples)
then
don't try to hard on this example... the others include the same code

There are security problems with acessing scripts accross servers, so
that is not really an option.

The new release should fix your problems.  The structure has changed
to look like this:
lib/
  dynapi/
     api/
       dynlayer.js,etc.
     ext/

So now you can put your own packages in the lib directory.  So now
when you use addLibrary you must use the package name with the class
type.  Like:
DynAPI.addLibrary('mystuff.gui',['file1.js','file2.js'])

Where mystuff is in the lib directory.  Also, the file names do not
include the package or class type anymore.   So it would look like:
lib/
   dynapi/
      ...
   mystuff/
      gui/
         file1.js
         file2.js

This should allow you to separate your stuff from the main dynapi
files.

Hello all! 
I've created what is essentially a form for users to search, fill out etc.. I
created and tested everything in the one directory - but have since moved it
into the following structure. This is being designed as a re-usable component in
many web sites.
I have a file which defines some ASP variables, and then calls an include file,
which is in the Include directory off the root. Since moving my files there, the
setURL function no longer works - it appears it doesn't like calling HTML files
from other directories that it's own.
Is this the case? Is there a work around to enable me to call html files from
other directories? 
The current (non-working) js is: 
instructContentsLayer.setURL('\Include\wac\wac_save.asp?strGrant='+strExplicitAl
low+'&strDeny='+strImplicitDeny+'&strResource=<% Response.Write(strResource)
%>&strSub_ID=<% Response.Write(strSub_ID) %>')
what worked was: 
instructContentsLayer.setURL('wac_save.asp?strGrant='+strExplicitAllow+'&strDeny
='+strImplicitDeny+'&strResource=<% Response.Write(strResource) %>&strSub_ID=<%
Response.Write(strSub_ID) %>')
The files are there - and correctly referenced AFAIK, it's just not reading

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Re: Howdy

[rlb <bl...@wi...>]

Got through part six.

Question though, can the inter frame communications be done with a
javascript popup window also?

I have something in mind, see this link:

     http://64.33.167.222/work/GIS_site_html/Master.html

I was planning on spawning the above to control some other popups. This
would help out with the Forms problem that I relayed earlier, at least
until I learn more about creating my own objects with the DynAPI.

Are there any examples for controlling popup's with the DynDocument?

Thanks

Oops, I forgot to change the "documents" in the attached back to
"document" as the tutorial had them originally, just trying some things
to get it to work.

I got through the second part of the tutorial (5) though.

Robert,

Thanks for the explanation, I'm up to the DynDocument tutorial.

I figure there was something along these lines to store things
separately.

Can this work between servers, as in two different ones? The whole Http
path? Actually this might solve my problem with not wanting to screw up
the CORE scripts with my own or anyone else's, by separating them across
servers. Never mind me, I'm just thinking out loud.

This struck me as a bit odd when I first look at it, it did make things
more intuitive though while I was trying to find stuff. Maybe after there
is more documentation the longer names would have less importance.

I wonder if this resource lookup configuration shouldn't be wholly server
side, as in using something similar to the "cgi-bin" directory, only
something like "js-resource" or some such. then less work would be
required for changing lookups in the calls from eh HTML pages. Just a
thought.

> There is also a function addLibrary(name,files).

Are these looked at, in a sequence, as in does the order count when
listing them in the calling lines.

Wouldn't also be wise to get rid of the ".js" part of the name, or is
this required by the browsers for interpretation?

[Dynapi-Help] keyevents

[<hv...@ya...>]

I'm trying to do my own custom extensions (which I
will contribute if successful). One of which I'm
working on is getting together an similar set of
eventhandlers for keyboard keys. I've seen Scott
Andrew has one for the Dan Steinman's original Dynapi
at his site and found an example at Bratta.com.  I've
tried to merge these with a copy of the existing
mouseevents (core.api.events.js). I'm neither a
well-experienced nor advanced DOM-developer, so I have
some questions...

1) Have anybody tried and/or successfully applied
keyevents to DynAPI 2? (I'd hate to do it in vain if
so...)

2) Does anybody know if it is possible to override the
browsers keycombinations with the CTRL, ALT,
SHIFT-keys, or will the browser always override any
events in the DOM? (This should be essential to
develop real webapps...) 

As I come to think of it: is there any responding keys
for mac-users to the CTRL, ALT, SHIFT -keys for PC?
Are they logically comparable?

3) What is the bubbleevent (as found in
core.api.events.js) and what is it used for? Could it
be of any use for keyevents? (I probably missed out on
a valuble lesson with this)

4) Is it possible to capture non-alaphabetic keys like
the arrows (if they're not overidden by browser
functions of course)?

5) Does anybody have a list or know how to get one for
how the keycode responds to the keyboard keys in the
different browsers/systems? Does international
keyboard layouts respond different? (in case it does
the task is almost too big to be one-fits-all I
believe)
