dynapi-help — List relating to using the DynAPI, bug reports, and suggestions

Re: [Dynapi-Help] (no subject)

[<ri...@am...>]

Thank you!

I searched for a DOM 2 reference and found some useful information.

However, it seems to me that the DOM doesn't provide for the capability
of positioning elements?

How much can be done, in comparison with DHTML with the DOM?

The DOM is the Document Object Model and the spec is released by the W3C, the same people that handles the specs for HTTP, HTML, XML, etc.

DynAPI uses the DOM when the browser suppports it, and other ways if not.

You can find out more about it here: http://www.w3.org/DOM/

DynAPI v2.5.x is largely based on the ability to create things after the page has loaded. Opera doesn't support that ability in any way that I have found. It might be different with Opera 7 that is to be released soon. DynAPI also supports inlining but I don't know how that works with Opera at all.

I believe the next DynAPI release (named 2.9 for now) has better support for Opera.

Can you enlighten me about the DOM? It's an existing API? Can the stuff =
being done with DynAPI be done with DOM as well?

Sorry if it's an ignorant question.

I'm not saying there is no need for this or any other API ( although the 
DOM is an API itself ). My point is that the DynAPI is huge in size and 
resource usage because of the miracles it achieves with older browsers. 
The functionality provided is great, but if you don't mind 4.x browsers, 
the overhead is not worth it. I may be  selfish here, since my personal 
skills allow me to do what I want without external libraries. I 
understand lots of people needs this and other APIs to do their jobs in 
a reasonable amount of time, and for them I know its a very valuable 
tool, but as I, as a web developer, have little to no need of using it. 
Therefore, spending hours enhancing what has already been done ( which I 
honestly think is enought for 99% of projects ) is not appealing at all.

Hi,

This brings up an interesting issue.

You mention that there's no need for API for "newer" browsers? I don't
understand that. The API still provides the libraries for doing all of
this neat stuff.

The other question is, why is Opera so incompatible with DynAPI? It seems 
none of the animation works, a lot of events don't work, etc.  Does that
mean Opera is not compliant, or is that a problem with DynAPI? 

Anyone know how to get the dynamic stuff work with Opera?

[Dynapi-Help] Dynlayers are under IFrames

[<fre...@ne...>]

I have a created a dynlayer (either by constructor or by 'adoption' of a <DIV 
..> </DIV>
and some IFrames in my main document
What I see is : IE 5.5 puts my layer on the front, above the IFrames
Netscape 6.2 and mozilla 0.9.8 puts it under IFrames.

I used the code extracted from the tutorials. What is wrong, and known issue 
with the combination I used ?

[Dynapi-Help] DynAPI status

[Hershel R. <her...@ne...>]

There has been a small bit of discussion lately as to the status of DynAPI
II and it's potential future.  I am not a developer of it nor an admin of
the site, but I am an avid user.  I am using DynAPI at present on more than
one commercial site, and I plan to continue using it.  I myself just avoid
the bugs. :)

I just wanted to communicate that there are users out there (I'm sure there
are more than just me) who use DynAPI and consider it an important tool.
You make take it for what it's worth.

You are now returned to your regularly scheduled life. ;)

[Bernard S. <ber...@la...>]

Hi everybody,

I sent a mail last week about dFrameAPI. Thanks to all who went for a walk
to my site ( www.dFrameAPI.com <http://www.dframeapi.com/> ).

The problem is that It seems DynAPI is a dead project and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dynapi/ a ghost site.
Nothing posted in it is younger than 7 months.

So this mail is a call to the 11 developers and admins of DynAPI: If DynAPI
is still alive just tell it. If possible also tell why no release since
2.5.7, why bugs are not assigned, why, up to what I can check, you never are
in the mail lists ...

Any news would be great,

Thanks!

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Prototype method accessing object argument?

[ToddNY <vze...@ve...>]

Passing anything as a paramater to a method (function) does not make the
thing available to the object or 'this' outside of the function.
The array will not be copied to a local array. The object will have a
'reference' to the original array and changing it will change the original
array which is what you want.
In order to have a local copy of the array you need to copy it; use the
concat() function into a new empty array.

  Right, so essentially a local copy of the one passed in is needed, rather 
than accessing the one passed in directly, yes?

  Saying this.aTestArray = aTestArray is making a local (this object) copy 
rather than just dealing with aTestArray directly.

  I guess I expected that either it would be done implicitly, or that 
aTestArray could be accessed without the 'this.' designation since it was 
passed in. I dunno....not much of a question since it's fairly 
straighforward to get it to work. I was just suprised that the object passed 
in as an argument wasn't directly acessible without the explicit
this.whateverNameIWant = aTestArray.

  Thanks (as always) for the response.

  Cheers,
  James

[Dynapi-Help] Prototype method accessing object argument?

[James M. <jam...@ho...>]

I have an object that has 2 parameters. It has a prototype method that can't 
seem to access those parameters....is my syntax incorrect, or is it not 
possible to do this?

var testArray = new Array();
testArray[0]   = 2;
testArray[1]   = 3;
var foo = "test";

myObj = new arrayTest(testArray, foo);
----------------
function arrayTest(aTestArray, sFoo)
{
[other stuff]
return this;
}
arrayTest.prototype.doSomething = function()
{
  alert(aTestArray); //also tried this.aTestArray
  alert(sFoo);////also tried this.sFoo
}

----------------

  It seems like the prototype method should be able to access input 
parameters to the object as well as local variables.
  I could create a
this.localArray = new Array();
this.localArray[0] = aTestArray[0];

  But that seems kind of convoluted if there is a direct way to access 
aTestArray.

  Thanks

  Cheers,
  James

Yes, your first question should be possible - there's a function in =

No, I don't think multiple select would be easily added - would probably =
requere a different type of widget, more like the list widget.

<Also, this list seems to not have much traffic. How can I find out the =

There are a few reasons the traffic dropped here:

1) The list was changed, so that when a windows user clicks reply, the =

This means that many questions seem to go unanswered, while in fact only =
the original poster sees the replies.
I initially thought this was a change made by sourceforge, but on =
another sourceforge project I work on, it was easy to set the =
mailinglist software to 'reply to list'.

2) The original Dynapi2 came to be more or less stable around v2.5, all =
that was needed were some bugfixes, and some updating as new browsers =
were released.=20
At this point Dan released a complete re-write of the code, as version =
2.9.
Many of the existing developers simply couldn't invest the time to =
re-learn the whole code-base, or didn't agree with some of the changes, =
so stopped contributing.
Also, it became hard to justify updating the v2.5 branch, as these =
bugfixes didn't trickle down to version 2.9, meaning we were confronted =
with exactly the same bugs all over again.

3) People can contribute X amount of their time free to opensource =
projects.
As the IT economy declined, earning a living became an important factor =
for many of us.

4) As Accessibility and coding to w3c standards become more important =
issues, DHTML has lost some of its relevance in commercial sites (IMHO).

Lastly I apologise to those that haven't received a reply from me when =
sending me email - I simply haven't had time to update my site with new =
contributions people have sent.
I hope I'll get round to doing it still though.
Also, I can't add any bug-fixes to the DynAPI code without testing the =
effect these changes might have on various browsers and platforms - =
which is why I don't just add bugfixes to the CVS code.
These are best submitted to the patch section of our sourceforge page, =

[Dynapi-Help] One more (easy) question for today :)

[James M. <jam...@ho...>]

I'm playing around with layers & child layers. It seems like an assumption I 
made is wrong perhaps.

I thought that I could create a layer, A, and add another layer B...and as 
long as the HTML in B and A weren't in the same spot they'd both show up. I 
recall seeing this before when playing with other people's code.

I tried:
pane = new DynLayer(null,160,160,800,360,null);
DynAPI.document.addChild(pane);
aLayer = new DynLayer(null,50,50,400,20,null);
aLayer.setBgColor('red');
pane.addChild(aLayer);
aLayer.setHTML('asdf');
--------> Everything works as I thought
pane.setHTML('blah')
--------> This makes the child layer's HTML disappear

How/Why does <parent>.setHTML mess with the child's html, etc?
I even tossed in a aLayer.setHTML('blah') after the pane.setHTML, but 
couldn't get the child's HTML back.

What's going on?
Thanks,
Cheers
-James

p.s.  Thanks for the replies about the prototype/inheritance models. I 
understand classic OOP inheritance, just couldn't make sense of the 
javascript syntax. I'll read through that netscape doc, it looked like it

Re: [Dynapi-Help] What do these lines of code mean/do? --> NEW QUESTION on prototype inheritance

[ToddNY <vze...@ve...>]

These ARE probably THE most important questions regarding JavaScript and
oop.
I think the O'Reilly book by Flanagan is the best JavaScript reference
manual; the oop discussion is brief but good and accurate. Anyone have a
better one???? ... that said,
Question 2 comes first ... you're asking the mechanism of JavaScript objects
and inheritance.
Question 1 is more specific on the use of prototype for inheritance.

2) class 'foo' is a constructor function(and a few other things but not
much). It is inheriting from 'DynLayer'. You are calling 'this.DynLayer()'
to simply call the constructor of the parent. Why is it saved in 'this'?...
Using 'this.DynLayer()' allows the 'DynLayer()' constructor function to
access the instance variables contained in the 'foo' class...The reason
'DynLayer()' is turned into a method of the 'foo()' class is that methods
are able
to use the 'this' variable of the object that was created.  Instance methods
can use 'this'.
So when you say 'new foo(x,y,z)' the code in 'DynLayer()' is executed.

1)
In order for 'foo' to be an class it uses a 'prototype' object to inherit
properties.  That's what a prototype property (of the constructor function)
does.  When you say 'alert(this.abc)'  inside of a foo method, if there is
not 'abc' in 'foo', then JavaScript looks at 'foo.prototype' and uses it's
'abc' if it has one. Therefore 'abc' is inherited from the superClass of
'foo' which is 'DynLayer'.  This is done invisibly.  If you write to abc
like this:
this.abc = "hello" inside of a foo method, then this does not happen, the
instance variable 'abc' is created in 'foo' not in the superClass. Now a
subClass of 'foo' can access 'abc'...How? the subClass set it's prototype to
be 'new foo()' creating a version of 'foo' that has the fields to be
inherited using this prototype technique.
It is confusing but there's only one prototype and many 'this' objects, so
any number of 'foo' objects can use the methods and data in the 'prototype'
object but if they write to a field of 'this' such as 'this.abc = 5' they
create a new version of 'abc'. This makes the whole thing more efficient.


=====******

I wonder if it would work to change it thus:
 function foo(x,y,z)
 {
       // this.DynLayer = DynLayer; --->REMOVE THIS
     this.DynLayer();
 }
foo.prototype = new DynLayer()
foo.prototype.DynLayer = DynLayer;   // ---> ADD THIS

=====******
Any good programmers out there??? This should be more efficient!!!
Yoe!
Todd.

[Dynapi-Help] What do these lines of code mean/do?

[James M. <jam...@ho...>]

function foo(x,y,z)
{
    this.DynLayer = DynLayer;
    this.DynLayer();
}
foo.prototype = new DynLayer()

  I've seen this type of thing in a couple examples (as part of the object 
definition).
  1) what does it mean to do a foo.prototype? I understand when you do 
something like
foo.prototype.isCool=true           or
foo.prototype.setColor=function(col)
but not the one that isn't 'adding' some object/function to the object 
prototype.
  2) the first 2 lines....
I'm guessing that you instantiated the object by saying new 
foo(x,y,z)...this somehow created made the object a DynLayer because of the 
foo.prototype...Then since it's a DynLayer you're pointing the this.DynLayer 
property to the DynLayer function and then initializing it with the 
this.DynLayer() function call???
  That doesn't make much sense...so any clarification would be great, 
thanks!

Re: [Dynapi-Help] text "bounce" animation?

[<ri...@am...>]

One question...

Can someone explain what the setPattern method for bounce does? I tried
playing around with different pattern numbers but didn't quite see any
changes in the animation with different numbers.

Thanks
Ricardo

[<ri...@am...>]

Thanks!

That is a nice example, but actually the one I'm talking about is
different. Let's say you had the text "hello".

Then each letter of the text bounces individually until they're lined up. Like,

h  l o
  e l

like bouncing squiggly, then lining up eventually. Not sure how else to
describe it! ;-)

Thanks for your help
