There is a paramater on the include that allows you to pass an
alternate path.  So:

DynAPI.include('mystuff.gui.button.js','../mywidgets/')

The path that you pass is the root path.  So inside there you would
need mystuff/gui/mystuff.gui.button.js.

There's been some talk that the filename shouldnt have the path in it
as well.  That could be changed in the future.

There is also a function addLibrary(name,files).  Where name is the
name like gui and the files are the last part of the file names, like
button.js as an array like addLibrary('mygui',['x.js',y.js']).

You can use this to allow you to say DynAPI.include('core.gui.*').

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Hello (again) I'm getting bolder

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

while working through the:

     Using the DynAPI2

          part 4 : Widgets

I've had a heck of a time trying to get my widget to be loaded.

I used what the tutorial said to use:

          <Script language="Javascript" src="dynapi.js"></script>
     I actually used a local path :

          <Script language="Javascript"
          src="../../core/js/dynapi.js"></script>

          <Script language="Javascript" src="button.js"></script>

          <Script language="Javascript">

I got a bunch of errors and Netscape kept locking up. I read some where that the new
way of calling routines was to use syntax like:

     CORE.<somefoldername>.<somewidgetname>.js

I eventually got this to work by building my own folder alongside the other Core
scripts like so:

      <Script language="Javascript" src="../../core/js/dynapi.js"></script>

          <Script language="Javascript">

     DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../../core/js/lib2.0/')

     DynAPI.include('core.api.*')
     DynAPI.include('core.rlb.button.js')

I don't remember where I saw the above reference.

The question(s):

     Is this the preferred method of storing and loading scripts?
     How can I store my scripts separately from the CORE scripts, as in
     completely different spot, other than the "core" directory.
     Can there be more than one "setLibraryPath", for example:

     DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../../core/js/lib2.0/')
     DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../../rlb/js/lib2.0/')

Learned a lot working this out.

Still having fun by the way.

Thanks

Re: [Dynapi-Help] core.ext.slide.htm example not working in 2001030b

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

The same for me ....

Congratulation for this API ..
I used Dynapi from Dan  and just discovered this new great api.

I started to port my old apps to this API, and It seems that some Dan's libs
are missing.
I started a quick (& dirty port) of the wipe.
see attached file. Maybe it could help ???

Just an example :
having a layer, then you can wipe it from center to corners
layer.setClip([layer.h/2,layer.w/2,layer.h/2,layer.w/2]);
layer.wipeTo(0,layer.w,layer.h,0);


An other question: what is the simplest way to get the current mouse
position without using events
(I tried the target.x & target.y, seems fine except that events on IE5
very very very slow (why?) and some eratic behavior)


Thanks.

RE: [Dynapi-Help] core.gui.popup.js questions

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

I think the problem with the zIndex is that it's also being set
by the popup menu itself (to make every menu appear above the "parent" menu.

So I guess if your way works, use it :)

Thanks Pascal, the eventListener() idea worked just fine!

Regarding question#2, I was trying to set the Zindex of the popUp menus. I
have an image-mapped graphic which calls the popUp menus onMouseOver,
however I want the popUp menus to be on a layer 'above' the graphic. When I
tried setting the ZIndex at the popUp creation time, it had no effect.
However if I put the setZIndex(n) in the onMouseOver of the hyperlink, it
works. I was just curious if this was supposed to work this way.

Thanks again!

pax,
Jason

a few answers then:

1. The easiest way (probably) is to use a eventlistener on the document,
when the mouseover on
the document happens, the popup menu doesn't have any focus anymore..

Note to other developers: I think the popup would need a enhancement to
trigger onmouseout
events on the popup it self.

2. Not sure about what you'r trying to do.. could you explain some more?

3. There's no other way to set the properties.. so it should be correct (and
if it works, why change it)

Onderwerp: [Dynapi-Help] core.gui.popup.js questions


I have a few implementation questions regarding the core.gui.popup.js

1. How can I set the popUp menus to disappear after rolling off of the
entire menu ?  I know I can put an 'onMouseOver' in the href, but this is
not viable because as soon as you rolloff of the href the menu disappears.

2. I have tried using: myMenu.setZIndex(10) when creating the popUps, but
this has no apparent effect. It only seems to work when I call it in an href
(e.g. <a href="#" onMouseOver="myMenu.Pop(250,22); myMenu.setZIndex(10)">)
Is this correct ?

3. Finally, I can successfully change the menu appearance (e.g. font color,
bgSelected etc..) by using myMenu.style.scheme.property=value   - as in the
following:

	// create popup menus
	myMenu = new CorePopUp(100,100,100)
	myMenu.setSize(100,75)
	myMenu.add('Alta Vista','http://www.altavista.com')
	myMenu.add('Yahoo','http://www.yahoo.com')
	myMenu.style.scheme.face='#339999'
	myMenu.style.font.color='#ffffff'
	myMenu.style.scheme.fgSelected='#339999'
	myMenu.style.scheme.bgSelected='#efefef'
	this.document.addChild(myMenu)

Is this the correct way to change the menu(s) appearance ?


Thanks again for any help!

Change this line:

in the slideStart() method to:

this.slideInterval = setInterval(this.toString()+".slide()",speed)

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Hello

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

Just a suggestion from a another novice, but how would
it work with inline layers instead? I haven't tried it
myself, but there might be a deifference. 

Otherwise I think this topic has been discussed here
recently (and elsewhere before) and the general idea
is that forms aren't covered when in a layer with a
lower z-Index value. You can hide the layers though
with the visability property, so one idea would be to
invoke an event that hides the other layer when
another is dragged over it (just mouseover/mouseout
should be OK I think) - a nasty workaround of course,
but it does what is expected: keeping the form
elements from happen in a virtual/visual mess.

[Dynapi-Help] Hello

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

DynAPIers,

Sorry to bother, but I have a question about a tutorial that I've been
working through titled:

     Using the DynAPI2
          part 3 : Dragging
          by Pascal Bestebroer
          July 16, 2000

Actually, it's about some unexpected results that I've come across.

I was wondering if you might have any insights. Could you try this link:

     http://64.33.167.222/work/DynAPI/dynapi20001024-full/Docs/layertut/mytut_p3.html

Both LAYERs have FORMs in them. The left layer is draggable. The FORM
elements seem to get messed up pretty good whenever I move the LAYER or
overlap with another layer containing FORM elements.

These are probably Javascript 101 questions, as in I should know the
answers, but darned if I can find any info on placing FORM elements into
LAYERS, or for that matter, draggable LAYERs, or the consequences. I
suppose that I should mention that I know only slightly more about
Javascript than I do about the DynAPI, although following this API stuff
is a heck of a lot easier than trying to build from scratch.

Question(s):

     Are these results a product of the Browser (it happens in NS
     and IE)?

     Is there a way of repainting things while dragging, or
     possibly displaying a graphic in the other window(s) that are
     not being dragged until the dragging event is over?

     Is this something that I shouldn't even be trying to do? Maybe
     I should use HTML Frames and targeted windows for example.

     Is there another Tutorial out there somewhere that explains
     what is happening

 I've been following this development process for quite a while. I first
came across Dan's work last year. I now have a project to apply these
types of capabilities to, if possible.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] documentation, presence, etc.

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

I think it's great this is coming around. I would be
happy to help out with the new DynAPI homepage build.
I'm not so familliar with PHP/MySQL since I'm working
in a corporate Intranet (which means I'm using
ASP/Access as my backend :(  - I do have some vast
understanding of it though), but I would definatly
love to be part of a task group doing the database
scheme layout and/or planning of features and design.
I have some university education on database modeling
and design, and have some experience of building
websites with backends, so if that's of any help I'll
be happy to contribute.

[Dynapi-Help] nested layers in NS

[Bill W. <bi...@my...>]

Just wanted to ammend my previous post.
This code does work in IE 5.5, it doesn't show the thumb in IE 5.0.

[Dynapi-Help] nested layers in NS

[Bill W. <bi...@my...>]

I'm having a problem in Netscape 4.75 with showing nested layers.

I am creating a scrollbar widget and have implemented several nested layers
to hold the images.  In IE 5.5 they work fine, but in IE 5.0 and at least
version 4.75 of Netscape's browser the layers do exist, but aren't showing
up.  Here is the code snippet for the layer creation:

	this.UpArrow = new DynLayer("UpArrow", 0, 0, w, 18, null, null, null,
this.ImgList[5].src);
	this.DownArrow = new DynLayer("DownArrow", 0, h - 18, w, 18, null, null,
null, this.ImgList[3].src);
	this.ScrollStrip = new DynLayer("ScrollStrip", 0, 18, w, h - 36, null,
null, null, this.ImgList[0].src);
	this.ScrollStrip.addChild(new DynLayer('thumb', 0, 0, this.w, Math.max(36),
null, null, null, this.ImgList[6].src));
	this.thumb = this.ScrollStrip.children[0];
	this.thumbTop = this.thumb.addChild(new DynLayer('thumbTop', 0, 0, this.w,
7, null, null, null, this.ImgList[8].src));
	this.thumbBot = this.thumb.addChild(new DynLayer('thumbBot', 0,
this.thumb.h-7, this.w, 7, null, null, null, this.ImgList[7].src));
	this.thumbTop = this.thumb.children[0];
	this.thumbBot = this.thumb.children[1];
	this.addChild(this.UpArrow, this.DownArrow, this.ScrollStrip);

In IE 5.5 the UpArrow, DownArrow and ScrollStrip shows, but the thumb and
its children do not.
In NS 4.75  the UpArrow and DownArrow shows, but the ScrollStrip and its
children do not.

I have already checked to see if the layers exist and they do.  They just
aren't showing up.

Does anyone have suggestions?

[Dynapi-Help] Core DynAPI2 - Loading html files into DynLayer's

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

First a big 'thankyou' to everyone who has contributed to this excellent
tool.

I am a UK based Mac OS9 and X based professional web-developer, and if I can
be of any help in QAing code for this platform please feel free to ask.

I'm currently porting a site using a heavily customised (messy) DynAPI1, to
DynAPI2, but having not built the original have some questions I cant seem
to answer:

1) Possibly a newbie (to version 2) question, but I have consulted the docs,
archives and examples to find a step-by-step answer:

I'd like to maintain this site with separate html files that are loaded into
DynLayers when I create them, how do I achieve this? Does the DynAPI2 get
around using an IFRAME buffer in IE?

2) Similarly my experience has led me to rely on external css for the
configuration of layers. Is there any way to apply specified 'class' tags to
DynLayers at creation time? Or should I convert this to use an external JS
based config file with variables?

3) Ambitiously I would like to place Flash movies (and other Plugin media)
on DynLayers and have them dragable. This is currently working with DynAPI1,
and  works fine in Netscape with the Core distribution, but IE 5 Mac leaves
the plugin area behind (havnet tried IE 4+ PC yet). Has anyone any
experience ideas about this problem?
(I am wisely ignoring IE 4.5 Mac)

Finally I have some feedback on the Dynacore DynAPI2 distribution
(unofficial one):

1) The benchmarks work without a hitch in Netscape 4.74 and 4.76 (all Mac)
2) In Netscape 4.08 Mac the benchmarks run without errors until B4 but no
layers are ever shown (weird), all alerts etc report back faithfully.
3) In IE 5 Mac anything involving hiding or deleting a Dynlayer results in a
'permission denied' alert (B2 line232, B3 line 308), and the eventlistener
(B4) works but can be erratic.

Happy to give further details if these haven't been noted before.

TIA

Re: [Dynapi-Help] ... is not a constructor

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

> Is this how it also works in C/C++ and other such languages?

JavaScript is very, very flexible with it's data types.  Other languages
such as Java and C are much stricter.  In fact, there are some who don't
consider JavaScript a language at all, because it's so forgiving.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] ... is not a constructor

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

Well... only one way to find out!

Here's what I tried:

<html>
<head>
	<title>Untitled</title>
  <script language="JavaScript">
    var mytest = true;
    function ShowNow() {
      var mytest = null;
      alert( "Now: " + mytest );
      mytest = false;
    }
    function ShowAfter() {
      alert( "After: " + mytest );
      mytest = true;
    }
  </script>
</head>

<body>

<a href="javascript: ShowNow();">Show Now</a><br>
<a href="javascript: ShowAfter();">Show After</a>

</body>
</html>


When you click on Show Now it gives null... so mytest is found in the local 
space for the function and used.  Show After doesn't declare mytest anywhere 
in the local section and therefore goes to the global space and finds it 
there.

Is this how it also works in C/C++ and other such languages?

  Eric


Scott Andrew LePera Wrote:

Usually, using "var" in your declaration makes the variable local to
the function or area where it was declared.

I may be incorrect, but in my experience, the only way to make a
variable truly global is to NOT use var:


Wrong:
var x=true

function changeIt(){
   x=false // <-- will cause error, because x is local outside of
function
}

Right:
x=true // <-- variable is now global

function changeIt(){
   x=false
}

Has anyone had a different result?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] ... is not a constructor

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

True, it is bad practice to name a class instance with the actual class
name.  I'll correct this error in my code.

Now I need some clarification on call hierarchy.  Is the DynAPI.onLoad
call before the var myPhotoAlbum = null;?  I thought that the
JavaScript engine would create a global variable out of myPhotoAlbum
when the browser parses the page and when the onLoad function is called
it would assign the PhotoAlbum to this global variable. Is this
correct? Does declaring a variable inside the onLoad function mean it's
global to the document?

  Eric

scottandrew Wrote:

You've effectively destroyed the PhotoAlbum constructor object with
this line:

var PhotoAlbum = null;

Also, you shouldn't name a variable after a constructor:

PhotoAlbum = new PhotoAlbum();

You're basically saying "take the PhotoAlbum constructor and make it a
PhotoAlbum."

Try this instead:

MyPhotoAlbum = new PhotoAlbum();

[Dynapi-Help] ... is not a constructor

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

I encountered a rather interesting problem today which in my opnion should 
not be happening.

This is the error message generated by Netscape 4.75. This doesn't occur in 
IE 5.  Only Netscape.

JavaScript Error:
file:/d%7C/egravel_fl/Amsterdam2000/index.html, line 52:

PhotoAlbum is not a constructor.


Here's the code:

<html>
<head>
  <!-- Include the Dynamic HTML API Object library -->
  &lt;script language="Javascript" src="../DynAPI/dynapi.js"></script>
  &lt;script language="Javascript">
  &lt;!--
    DynAPI.setLibraryPath("../DynAPI/");
    DynAPI.include("core.api.dynlayer.js");
    DynAPI.include("core.api.browser.js");
    DynAPI.include("core.api.dyndocument.js");
    DynAPI.include("PhotoAlbum.js", "./");

    var PhotoAlbum = null;

    DynAPI.onLoad = function() {
      PhotoAlbum = new PhotoAlbum();
      PhotoAlbum.setBgColor( "#000000" );
      PhotoAlbum.setSize( 200, 200 );

      DynAPI.document.addChild(PhotoAlbum);
    }
  //-->
  &lt;/script>
&lt;/head>

...

PhotoAlbum.js:

function PhotoAlbum() {
this.test= 1;
return this;
}
PhotoAlbum.prototype = new DynLayer;



If you comment the line "var PhotoAlbum = null;" everything works fine. Why 
is that?

  Eric

RE: [Dynapi-Help] core.gui.popup.js questions

[Jason L. <ja...@go...>]

Thanks Pascal, the eventListener() idea worked just fine!

Regarding question#2, I was trying to set the Zindex of the popUp menus. I
have an image-mapped graphic which calls the popUp menus onMouseOver,
however I want the popUp menus to be on a layer 'above' the graphic. When I
tried setting the ZIndex at the popUp creation time, it had no effect.
However if I put the setZIndex(n) in the onMouseOver of the hyperlink, it
works. I was just curious if this was supposed to work this way.

Thanks again!

pax,
Jason

a few answers then:

1. The easiest way (probably) is to use a eventlistener on the document,
when the mouseover on
the document happens, the popup menu doesn't have any focus anymore..

Note to other developers: I think the popup would need a enhancement to
trigger onmouseout
events on the popup it self.

2. Not sure about what you'r trying to do.. could you explain some more?

3. There's no other way to set the properties.. so it should be correct (and
if it works, why change it)

Onderwerp: [Dynapi-Help] core.gui.popup.js questions


I have a few implementation questions regarding the core.gui.popup.js

1. How can I set the popUp menus to disappear after rolling off of the
entire menu ?  I know I can put an 'onMouseOver' in the href, but this is
not viable because as soon as you rolloff of the href the menu disappears.

2. I have tried using: myMenu.setZIndex(10) when creating the popUps, but
this has no apparent effect. It only seems to work when I call it in an href
(e.g. <a href="#" onMouseOver="myMenu.Pop(250,22); myMenu.setZIndex(10)">)
Is this correct ?

3. Finally, I can successfully change the menu appearance (e.g. font color,
bgSelected etc..) by using myMenu.style.scheme.property=value   - as in the
following:

	// create popup menus
	myMenu = new CorePopUp(100,100,100)
	myMenu.setSize(100,75)
	myMenu.add('Alta Vista','http://www.altavista.com')
	myMenu.add('Yahoo','http://www.yahoo.com')
	myMenu.style.scheme.face='#339999'
	myMenu.style.font.color='#ffffff'
	myMenu.style.scheme.fgSelected='#339999'
	myMenu.style.scheme.bgSelected='#efefef'
	this.document.addChild(myMenu)

Is this the correct way to change the menu(s) appearance ?


Thanks again for any help!

[Dynapi-Help] "JavaScript" language attribute fixed - DynAPI2 can be recategorized

[William E. <be...@te...>]

Just wanted to let the DynAPI2 admins know that they can reclassify DynAPI2 under the "JavaScript" programming language, as that has now been added to the list of programming languages at SourceForge.

It should be better than having it classified as "Other" :-).

Cheers,

- Bill

RE: [Dynapi-Help] License and "Javascript"

[Eytan H. <ey...@tr...>]

As we are talking legal stuff. What does the GPL exactly mean. A friend of
mine wants to implement DynAPI 2 in his website for some of the cool
graphical effects. It is a commercial site. What does he have to do?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] License and "Javascript"

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

> 1) Isn't the license for DynAPI really the LGPL, not the GPL?
The license is actually the "GNU Library Public License".  The
LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License) is a successor to this license, so perhaps the license file
should be updated to the LGPL as well.

[Dynapi-Help] License and "Javascript"

[William E. <be...@te...>]

Hi All -

Sorry for posting this here, but it seemed that nothing was going on over in the 'chat' archive.

Two things (both really for the project admins):

1) Isn't the license for DynAPI really the LGPL, not the GPL? The version I have from Aug. says LGPL, but the project page for the project on SourceForge says GPL. There is a difference between the two and the home page should really say LGPL. This should be easy for one of the admins to fix.

2) I've sent the SourceForge guys an e-mail asking them to add "JavaScript" to the list of languages. I've got a JavaScript project that I'm going to be putting up pretty soon and I would really like to classify it under that, rather than "Other". When I get e-mail from them saying that this fix is in, I'll pass it along so that one of you can reclassify DynAPI as "JavaScript".

Thanks so much to all for the cool library. Keep banging away on it!!

Cheers,

- Bill
