Oh, probably a name collision if someone else ports the old Slider
object. :p
On second look, a package ... hmm, brush up on my package skills.
A package (slider.js) seems to need this as the first line:
Slider = {}; // used by dynapi.library
Then extend an existing object like DynLayer, or make a new object.
Then put the file where it makes the most sense. If "Slider" is some
object that creates a sliding effect, it'd go into "src/fx/slider.js".
If it lets you perform functions like arithmetic on a Slide Rule, maybe
it'd go in "src/ext/functions.slider.js". It doesn't seem to be a good
idea to clutter up the dynapi.* name space, as that is typically
reserved for folder names. So pick another place, or make a
"src/myext/slider.js" or "src/da/slider.js" or something.
Then in packages.js, you would put the l.add line.
1) Using "src/fx/slider.js"
l.add('dynapi.fx.Slider','dynapi.fx.slider.js');
2) Using "src/ext/functions.slider.js"
l.add('dynapi.functions.Slider','functions.slider.js');
3) Using "src/myext/slider.js"
l.addPackage('dynapi.myext',p+'myext/');
l.add('dynapi.myext.Slider','slider.js');
4) Using "src/da/slider.js"
l.addPackage('dynapi.da',p+'da/');
l.add('dynapi.da.Slider','slider.js');
If you extended one object, you need a third argument, a string,
specifying which other layer is required if not already loaded.
l.add('dynapi.myext.Slider','slider.js','DynLayer');
If you extended two or more objects, the third argument is an array:
l.add('dynapi.myext.Slider','slider.js',['DynLayer','dynapi.functions.Ma
th']);
So you started with:
l.add('dynapi.Slider','ext/slider.js','DynLayer');
This is somewhat confusing. The only things in "src/ext" are
packages.js, generic utility functions to extend objects, the
library.js, and the debug.js. This should probably not be the place to
add stuff, unless added as "src/ext/functions.sliders.js", and only if
it's a generic utility object which operates on data type objects, and
so on.
Other than that, the syntax should probably work, in a similar fashion
to "dynapi.debug". So that makes me wonder if the first line of your
"src/ext/slider.js" file is "Slider = {}; // used by dynapi.library".
If you still can't find the problem, then try throwing in
"alert('here!');" lines to see where the script does and doesn't get
called. Look in JavaScript Console (Mozilla) or turn on script
debugging and error messages in IE or other browsers. If there's still
no luck, it might be helpful to post the code. The example HTML, and
the slider.js file. Keeping it reasonably short and posting in the
email (not as attachment) is the safest bet. Otherwise post a URL to a
live example and a zip file download.
Hope this (eventually) proves helpful.

Hi,
I am using DynAPI 3. The slider object is my own object nothing to do
with DynAPI . It's a wrapper around a DynLayer, it does use slider
effect but from version 3 , Ive never used an earlier version.

I think the packages.js file refers to the new DynAPI 3. Are you using
DynAPI 3?
Are you referring to the Slider object (v2.0, 2001-06-26) created by
Jeff Greenberg? The source code clearly states that it was designed for
DynAPI 2.5x. The two versions of DynAPI are not entirely compatible.

To use this object with DynAPI 3, the object will need to be ported. The
differences between version 2.5x and version 3.x are described in the
dynapi3x/docs/changelog.html folder.

To use this object with DynAPI 3, the object will need to be ported.

hi,
I have added the following line to packages.js
l.add('dynapi.Slider','ext/slider.js','DynLayer');
but it doesnt seem to include the file .
The slider.js file holds another object.
Can you give me some advice on how to get it working?
TIA

I am not overly familier with the htmlmenu object.
But, a link in javascript is:
document.location.href="your address"
or to open in a new window
window.open("your address")

Sorry i forget that on HTML Menu
3) when i set relative keyword to HTMLMenu like this
dynapi.document.addChild(Menu,'relative');
as in the Relative Dynlayer examples.
I would like my menu insert in my HTML other element as for the moment,
they overlapp them.
Is there an easy way to do that?

Hi to all again,
I have two question on HTMLMenu Object
I guess a trivail one
1) How to put a real link in addItem
I guess i have to put link in the callback parameter, like
alert('message in the examples') but its Javascript
I dont know how to put Link in Javascript
2) When i set the setAutoResize() Properties to HTMLMenu Object,
everithing work great except that the absolute position of the subBar
don't adapt
Is there a trick in the parameters or do i have to hack the HTMLMenu Object?

Hi to all,
Is there a way to get the absolute position to an element inserted with
DynAPI.document.addInflowChild(DynElement)
The only way i find is finding absolute position of one of the container.
<DIV = "id">DynAPI.document.addInflowChild(DynElement)</DIV>
divobj = document.all[id];
x = findPosX(divobj)
y = findPosY(divobj);
function findPosX(obj)
{
var curleft = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent)
{
while (obj.offsetParent)
{
curleft += obj.offsetLeft
obj = obj.offsetParent;
}
}
else if (obj.x)
curleft += obj.x;
return curleft;
}
function findPosY(obj)
{
var curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent)
{
while (obj.offsetParent)
{
curtop += obj.offsetTop
obj = obj.offsetParent;
}
}
else if (obj.y)
curtop += obj.y;
return curtop;
}
Isn't it a more elegant way to find the DynElement Absolute position
from the screen ??

Hi, I use Firefox 0.9.3, and I don't try the cvs version, should I ? I found a solution : I use loadpanels, this loadpanels are included in PanelBar objects, and panelbars in stackers. To have this working I added a little function in gui/panelbar.js, to update the size of the panelbar, after each loadpanel content change. So I take the resize event on the loadpanel, and each time the loadpanel size change I call the function un panelbar.js to update the height of panel bar. but now it's quite slow on my browser, so if someone have a better solution i'll be greatly apreciated. see : http://www.netbadri.com/dynap/dynapi3x/examples/momch.html function in panelbar.js : ------------------------------------ p.setH = function( h ) { if(!h && typeof(this._lyrcnt) == 'object' ) { this.setHeight(this._lyrcnt.getHeight()); this.h=this._lyrcnt.getHeight(); this._h=this._lyrcnt.getHeight(); } if( h ) { this.setHeight(h); this.h=h; this._h=h; } if( this._minimized ) this.setHeight(this._mnuheight); else this.setHeight(this._h); } ------------------------------------ thank you.

Hello, I use stacker and panelbars to display dynamic content generated by php scripts. How can I change the panelbar height to the size of his content ? In my example the panel bar include an iframe, and this iframe refresh his html content each 60 seconds. Can I change the panelbar size, and reload the stacker ? I use dynapi3x. thank you. --------------------------- http://webmail.netbadri.com |

I got back yesterday with no answers about why I got sick or in exactly what way I got sick. Most hospital people maybe use a computer for 30 seconds once every month or two months. They won't ever understand how seven days feels like suffocation of the mind with the brain rotting out from lack of use, just staring at the walls and ceiling, or worse, CNN. ;-) > Did I something you are angry about??

It takes time to sit and try things. I am still a bit weak and get tired, so must lay down. I'm also a bit slow sometimes even when I'm fast. ;-) I want to see the same things, think about the possible causes, and try and reduce it to a single line or 2-3 lines of code that can easily be commented or wrapped inside an "if ( flag )" or "switch ( flag )" where flag is a radio button. So I can quickly turn on and off any one of several options, to see how they compare in an example page in different browsers. > I was able to profile the stuff and venkerman showed me that most time > was spent in DynLayer_dom.setLocation. > It was calles quite often (about 500 times or so) and took 5000-10000s. 5000 - 10000 s == 1.39 - 2.78 h?

I'm a fan of giving people (especially programmers) many options. Some people believe everyone should have few options, because it makes the coding easier. I'd say an option for automatic detection (based on some half-baked algorithm which may or may not work right), and an option for manually on or off, per object. Maybe a single flag with three states: [ auto | on | off ] with default off. > Thanks for dynapi and good luck with your health! > > lg Clemens . o O ( Microsoft design and troubleshooting philosophy: Problem: You mail client and/or operating system has a bug!

gotta love the Lookout Express..
The way this issue was handles int my scrollbar as to dicard onScroll (or
onMouseMove?) events that are
fired while still porcessing the last event.
Some Psudo code:
myevent(){
if(this.EventInProcess) return 0;
this.EventInProcess=true;
//do the stuff, move the scroll bar, scroll the content pane, ect..
this.EventInProcess=false;
}
also handy for any other heavy-duty dragging code.
Do not be concerned for the discarded events, the drag events are fire more
than often enough,
plus the browser AND OS tend to queu some of the events as well.
cheers

Hi again! >Stupid Lookout Unimpressed. Inserts text I deleted. What part of >CTRL-a DEL didn't you understand??? > > Sorry my English is only at basic level so I had quite some probs with the last two mails ;-) Did I something you are angry about?? If so - sorry, however ? I know the code is quite ugly so I would have no problem if you would tell me that you wont check it in - it would be better to figure out why gecko has problems with scrolling, however I was able to profile the stuff and venkerman showed me that most time was spent in DynLayer_dom.setLocation. It was calles quite often (about 500 times or so) and took 5000-10000s. The problem seems to be that scrolling-performance in general is not the problem it just feels so slow because it sometimes stucks. Overal duration of setLocation is about 6ms on my machine, however there are a few peaks with 150ms and more... Maybe Mozilla has problems with events when scrolling so it fires the same event on and on? Maybe stepped scrolling could be still quite usefule for large, complex scrolled areas but I dont know how good browser can handle this. Thanks for dynapi and good luck with your health! lg Clemens |

Sorry that I already ask again, however I found some problems with step-whise scrolling. The end and the begin of the document sometimes could not be reached, this is now fixed, however makes code much more ugly again ;-) lg Clemens |

Hello again! I found the bug I spoke in the last mail about. Firefix-RC does not render the css-border attributes, I have opened a bug-report so that they know something is wrong. I attached the file if you want to try it yourself... lg Clemens |

Hello again! Because gecko-based browsers seem to have problems when scrolling a viewpane driven by events (if you pick the knob yourself and drag it it does not scroll fluently, but if you simply stay on the down/up-buttons it works great) I implemented step-scrolling which could act as a fix or as speed-up when complex layers should be scrolled (on slower systems). I think the viewport.js should be quite up-to-date with cvs, but please copy my changes into the cvs-file and not overwrite the cvs-file with my copy. I maked all placed where source changed and it sould be easy to find the approriate places in CVS. I also attached the explorer-viewport demo which shows howto use it (simply rewrote the constructor.) Since I have just started with dynapi, feel free to rewrite parts or format it dynapi-compatible ;-) Thanks, lg Clemens PS: I found a bug in FireFoxRC which seems to render the knows in scrollbars wrong (no shadow-effekt). I'll have a look, maybe I can find the problem and can open a bug-report. |

It seems that with it the dream of really thin clients can become reality. Lets hope that new browsers can handle much layers in a more efficient way... It would be great if you could return soon! >As for IOElement and opera it seems that the IFrame >object isn't available until after the page is loaded. >I think there should be a trap ofr this inside the >ioelement.js file.

However the creation of the IOElement and the registration of the webservice have to be done at initialisation which alerts() again. However because of it works fine its no problem at all, maybe we should if(dynapi.ua.opera) the alert, otherwise uses maybe disappointed. Just because of interrest, has anybody tried it with safari, because it is based on konqueror which does not work at all. Thanks again a lot, lg Clemens |

Wow! What a thread!
Firstly let me say thanks to all who have helped to
keep DynAPI alive. My greatest wish is to return to
this project in the near future but time will not
allow for that to happen now.
As for IOElement and opera it seems that the IFrame
object isn't available until after the page is loaded.
I think there should be a trap ofr this inside the
ioelement.js file. You can try call the the ioelement
object after the page loads to see it that works.
