[Dynapi-Help] Can you add children to an inline layer?

[ed <co...@ya...>]

Hey all.  I would like to create a layer that 
is positioned according to the normal flow of the 
html. In other words I don't want to add a position
attribute to it, I just want the browser to figure out

where it should go.  
But I want this layer to act as a positioning context
for child layers.  In other words I want the child
layers to be positioned relative to the top layer.

So I'd like to be able to create an inline layer and 
then use dynAPI to add children to it.  Is that
possible?

I guess this means you would probably have to be able
to turn an inline layer into a dynLayer obect? So it
would have all the properties and methods available to
it that a normal dynLayer would?

If I can't accomplish this directly is there a work
around?

tia,

check the inline example that comes with the dynapi..
\dynapi\examples\dynapi.ext.inline.htm
take note: In Netscape 4.x , whenever you do _ANYHTING_ to a layer, inline
or not,
Netscape 4.x suddenly forgets where the layer should be and it dimentions.

Does that mean if I care about staying compatible with
Netscape 4, that I should try to set the position and
dimension properties of all layers whenever possible?

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Can you add children to an inline layer?

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

Pretty much..
The best is to code for IE.. (as a beginner anyways)
Then simply test your project in NS and see what changes you have to make..
_MOST_ of the differences are handled by DynAPI itself (which was the whole
point of dynapi in the first place)

It's been a while since I've even looked at javascript.. I'm only just
getting back into it.
But if you have any serious compatablity issues, simply post them..
I highly doubt there area nay NS-related issues I have not come up with..
My last major WEb-based project was to port an IE-only web-based
communications app to NS.
Let's just say I impressed quite a few people there with the usefullness of
the DynAPI.

Re: [Dynapi-Help] Can you add children to an inline layer?

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

AS I recall, the problem with NS forgetting stuff was only with inline
layers that had dynamic content.
The layer would resize after I stuffed HTML into it and I would have to
resize it.

I'm not as sure for the location of the layer.. but I seem to recall an
issue
