Summary: Cannot add function in Array prototype

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I use a toolkit js library (gosu) with dynapi. When I
load dynapi AND gosu's libraries, I got the following
error :

Error: n.indexOf is not a function
Source File:
http://localhost/dotproject/lib/dynapi/src/dynapi.js
Line: 388

After a few tests, I found what was going wrong. Gosu
add functions to Array prototype. If I remove this
functions, everything's going fine.

I use FF 1.0.6, but the same error occurs in IE6.

If you want to reproduce that, just add the following
function before including dynapi.js :

Array.prototype.anOtherFunction = function(s) {
    alert(s);
};

Could you tell me if you got the same problem ?

Thanx

Okay. I am cool with this. However, if we ARE going to add
an enhanced setCookie, them we might as well add an enhanced
deleteCookie, getCookie and maybe cloneCookie ect ect.

Also: I would like to see setCookie, as complex as it is,
still be able to be used in "simple mode" I.e
setCookie("login=1") or whatever.

also I would imagion deleteCookie taking whildcards and such :-P

Alos: as always we will want to ensure that any new cookie
manager be cross-browser (and tested as such)

cheers

I successfully tested the fix provided by agillett (posted on 
date: 2005-09-01 08:04) - which mean that there might be a 
quicky but not necessarily dirty solution. Interestingly, the 
problem seems to be solved by just using the two lines of 
code in dynlayer_ie.js (line 17 -18, listed below) all the time:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	parentElement.insertAdjacentHTML
("beforeEnd",this.getOuterHTML());
	elm = parentElement.children
[parentElement.children.length-1];
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

instead of using the 27-line section (line 22-48, listed below) 
which is considered more effecient for ie5+

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
			// this method is more 
efficient for ie5+. any comment?
		
	elm=document.createElement('DIV');
			elm.id=this.id;
			if(this._className) 
elm.className=this._className;
			if(!this._noStyle) {
				var css = 
elm.style;
				css.position=
(this._position||'absolute');
				css.pixelLeft=
(this.x||0);
				css.pixelTop=
(this.y||0);
				if(this.w!=null) 
css.width = this.w;
				if(this.h!=null) 
css.height = this.h;
			
	css.backgroundColor=(this.bgColor||'transparent');
				css.zIndex=
(this.z||1);
				css.cursor=
(this._cursor||'auto');
				css.overflow=
(this._overflow||'');			
				if(this.bgImage!
=null) css.backgroundImage='url('+this.bgImage+')';
				if 
(this.bgImage==null && this.html==null) 
css.backgroundImage='none';
				if (this.clip) 
css.clip='rect('+this.clip[0]+'px '+this.clip[1]+'px '+this.clip[2]
+'px '+this.clip[3]+'px)';
				else if (this.w!
=null && this.h!=null) css.clip='rect
(0px '+this.w+'px '+this.h+'px 0px)';		
				css.visibility=
(this.visible==false)? 'hidden':'inherit';
				// border - set by 
BorderManager
				if
(this._cssBorTop){
				
	css.borderTop = this._cssBorTop||'';
				
	css.borderRight = this._cssBorRight||''; 
				
	css.borderBottom = this._cssBorBottom||'';
				
	css.borderLeft = this._cssBorLeft||'';
				}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anybody shed some light on why the second section is 
better than the first section for ie5+? Can it be enhanced to 
gain the benefit of the first section where no "global variable" 
is used? Thanks

My two cents:
If the frames are on seperate domains (or different ip
address) then no.. there is no easy fix. This is called
cors-site scripting and is delibratly disabled for obvious
security reasons.

Now that said and idea comes to mind.. how about passing
dynapi calls between the two frames via our handy-dandy soap
objects?

It's no small project, and one which I certainly do not have
time for atm. (16 hour days make Douggie a very sad man indeed)

breif outline: 
A method by which fram/window A on domain Y may execute or
cause to be executed javascript code in fram/window B on
domain Z.

This method would involve window A sending a message server
Y which serrver Y would relay to Server Z which in turn
would relay said message to window B.

Even as i type this i see how there would be a certainly
level of complexity in implementation, However, I can also
see how such an interface and be abstracted and made
"simple" for the end-using coder.

All I can say now is "Viva La eval()!"

It seems to me that we run into a problem caused by 
using "global variables" in a set of APIs that try to achieve 
OO programming in javascript environment. 

I think if dynapi users stick to dynapi objects, as in my 
example code, the application should behave in a way that 
OO programmers expect -- certainly, only if that's possible 
within the limitation of browsers.

I don't think it's up to the dynapi.  JavaScript can only do
what the browser allows.  If the browser does not allow it,
we can't do anything.

On the other hand, we /may/ be able to look at what the
functions are doing and devise a way to achieve what we want.

Thanks a lot, Andrew.  
I feel like being executed. But I do see how it's getting tricky 
when you try to control the contents of another window. 
Question is: Can be fixed theoretically? Will the dynapi 
development group formally abandon supporting frames?

The removeFromParent() function deletes the DIV element
associated with the DynLayer from the DOM. The addChild()
function creates a new element and inserts it into the
parents (layer1) DOM.

The problem is that the _create() function in dynlayer_ie.js
uses "document.createElement()" to create the new DIV
element. Because this action is initiated from your "Set
Desktop" button, the "document" variable refers to the menu
document, not the content document. You cannot add an
element created in one frame to the DOM of another frame.

One workaround is to remove the "if" statement on line 16 of
dynlayer_ie.js so that lines 17-18 are executed instead of
the "else" block (lines 21-50). This avoids using the
document.createElement function altogether and your code
seems to work.

However I'm not sure that is this is a good long term
solution. I've tried to get the code to use the parent
elements document object to create the new element, but that
has always failed with permission errors.

Another solution is to just stop using frames :)

They are not two copies of the same function, they are two
different functions with the same name:

        // redraw desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktopContents.removeFromParent();
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };
        
        // show cached desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktop = this.parent.desktop.content;
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };

I don't know how to correct this, you must do it.

The first thing I've noticed is that menu.html contains two
different definitions of the "OnLoadDesktop()" function.
This makes it hard to follow the logic. Would you mind
correcting this?

Hi.  It was Andrew (agillett) who changed Resolution to
Works for Me, before the example was supplied.  Now I see
the problem as you describe.

========
In Firefox, if reload, I get this error in the JavaScript
console:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnLoadDesktop is not a function
Source File:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html
Line: 22

If I then hold Shift and reload, I get this JavaScript error:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnUnloadDesktop is not a function

But the page loads properly otherwise.

This indicates that something is being destroyed and then
trying to use it after it's gone.

========
In IE 6, on pressing Set Desktop, I get a different error
from the one reported.  In an alert-style popup, in addition
to the script error popup:

An error has occured in this dialog.

Error: 84
Unspecified error.

And the odd thing, the IE script error popup has no content:

Line: 
Char: 
Error: 
Code: 
URL: 

But clicking "OK" on the alert-style popup closes the IE
script error popup as well.

Reloading the page AFTER clicking Set Desktop yields the
following script error:

Line: 198
Char: 19
Error: Can't execute code from a freed script
Code: 0
URL: file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/menu.html

Followed by:

Line: 22
Char: 4
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html

Then the page reloads just fine.

I'll have to look into it some more.

First, thanks a lot for checking this problem. 

Your test code does work. To reproduce my problem, please 
unzip my attached file and put it in "test" folder under the 
dynapi's "examples" folder. "desktop.html" is the entrance 
page. Please follow steps below to see the problem:

==========================================
Problem for IE6:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the the lower frame of the screen.

Step 2: click "Set Desktop" button to redraw the lower frame 
of the screen. You can see how the yellow layer and blue 
layer disappear.

==========================================
BTW, I just found another problem for the same code when 
running it in firefox 1.0.1. Below are the steps to reproduce 
the problem:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the upper frame of the screen.

Step 2: click the browser's "reload" button to refresh the page.
You'll see that "toolbar1" disappears

Also, let us know what specific version of DynAPI you are
using.  I did not see the problem with dynapi-3.0.0-beta2. 
So provide a complete example of the failure, and the DynAPI
version you're using.

I haven't been able to reproduce this error. My test case is
http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/releases/dynapi3x/test/006.Redraw.html

Can you supply the complete code for your example that fails?

Summary: autoresizing with setHTML 

Initial Comment:
Let us consider the setting next HTML for DynLayer
which have not fixed size (we expect that layer should
be auto-resized to the content size):
var dlr = new DynLayer();
dlr.setHTML("Test<img
src='http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif'>");
dynapi.document.addChild(dlr);

If the image in HTML (<img
src='http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif'>) isn’t
cached by the browser early then we have problem with
auto-resizing of the layer. 

The core place in code (I consider the case of DOM
browser only) is: dynlayer_dom.js, line 47, in function
DynLayer._assignElement, where we call
dlyr.setSize(cw,ch). At the moment of calling
_assignElement we have incorrect values for
getContentWidth and getContentHeight yet and so we set
the wrong size to the layer…

I think we should resize layer when the DynLayer
completes the job by loading all resources (images and
etc.) Unfortunately I don’t know how to detect the
finish of all jobs during the changing innerHTML of
element (our case)…

I attached the test file which doesn’t work on IE and
Mozilla…

Checking for completiong can be done in IE using the
onreadystatechange event and then checking if readyState == 4

I _think_ readystate 4 = finished rendering, but you will
want to test to be sure.

This event is not very well documented at all and was only
found after about 4 months of trying to solve an "images
abort loading" issue we where having oh-so long ago.

Also note: I have absolutly no idea how to do this in
Mozilla but give me time :-P

Summary: Events send wrong X/Y coords to relative layers.

Initial Comment:
When setting up a background layer, adding to that a
layer with a photograph, and adding to that a layer
that you move around (fetch and drag), then there's a
problem.  The onmousedown event (and others) passes the
X and Y coordinates +8 or +9 or so.  The upper left
corner of the fetched layer stops to the 8 or 9 pixels
to the lower right of the cursor.  Therefore you can
never connect with a drag event.  You must release the
mouse to stop the onmousedown event from firing, then
move the mouse over the layer, and mousedown again to
initiate a drag.  If I remove the relative insert later
in the document, the upper left corner of the fetched
layer comes to a stop precisely underneath the mouse
cursor.

This might be used in a situation when you'll have some
text or images or other layers, then you'll want to
relatively insert this background layer, with it's
photo layer and it's fetchable/draggable layer.  You
won't know ahead of time how to precisely position the
layer on the page, so everything must be done relative
to the background layer.  Maybe there's another way to
do things?  I'm still learning myself.  I definitely
would like to understand where the offset is coming
from.  I might have a hunch about some thing.

test1 example is attached below.

where there not a LOT of comments on this bug? or was that
confined to the mailing list?

Anyways _my_ solution is to use the DynAPI Inline layer
extension, then retrieve the posisiton of your relative
layer then, suing the x/y obtained, simply proceed with
treating your DynLayers as absulte layers..

By this I mean do not add the DynLayer as a child of the
relative layer, only retrieve the relative layer's x/7 and
width/height.

My two cents:
If the frames are on seperate domains (or different ip
address) then no.. there is no easy fix. This is called
cors-site scripting and is delibratly disabled for obvious
security reasons.

Now that said and idea comes to mind.. how about passing
dynapi calls between the two frames via our handy-dandy soap
objects?

It's no small project, and one which I certainly do not have
time for atm. (16 hour days make Douggie a very sad man indeed)

breif outline: 
A method by which fram/window A on domain Y may execute or
cause to be executed javascript code in fram/window B on
domain Z.

This method would involve window A sending a message server
Y which serrver Y would relay to Server Z which in turn
would relay said message to window B.

Even as i type this i see how there would be a certainly
level of complexity in implementation, However, I can also
see how such an interface and be abstracted and made
"simple" for the end-using coder.

All I can say now is "Viva La eval()!"

It seems to me that we run into a problem caused by 
using "global variables" in a set of APIs that try to achieve 
OO programming in javascript environment. 

I think if dynapi users stick to dynapi objects, as in my 
example code, the application should behave in a way that 
OO programmers expect -- certainly, only if that's possible 
within the limitation of browsers.

I don't think it's up to the dynapi.  JavaScript can only do
what the browser allows.  If the browser does not allow it,
we can't do anything.

On the other hand, we /may/ be able to look at what the
functions are doing and devise a way to achieve what we want.

Thanks a lot, Andrew.  
I feel like being executed. But I do see how it's getting tricky 
when you try to control the contents of another window. 
Question is: Can be fixed theoretically? Will the dynapi 
development group formally abandon supporting frames?

The removeFromParent() function deletes the DIV element
associated with the DynLayer from the DOM. The addChild()
function creates a new element and inserts it into the
parents (layer1) DOM.

The problem is that the _create() function in dynlayer_ie.js
uses "document.createElement()" to create the new DIV
element. Because this action is initiated from your "Set
Desktop" button, the "document" variable refers to the menu
document, not the content document. You cannot add an
element created in one frame to the DOM of another frame.

One workaround is to remove the "if" statement on line 16 of
dynlayer_ie.js so that lines 17-18 are executed instead of
the "else" block (lines 21-50). This avoids using the
document.createElement function altogether and your code
seems to work.

However I'm not sure that is this is a good long term
solution. I've tried to get the code to use the parent
elements document object to create the new element, but that
has always failed with permission errors.

Another solution is to just stop using frames :)

They are not two copies of the same function, they are two
different functions with the same name:

        // redraw desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktopContents.removeFromParent();
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };
        
        // show cached desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktop = this.parent.desktop.content;
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };

I don't know how to correct this, you must do it.

Hi.  It was Andrew (agillett) who changed Resolution to
Works for Me, before the example was supplied.  Now I see
the problem as you describe.

========
In Firefox, if reload, I get this error in the JavaScript
console:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnLoadDesktop is not a function
Source File:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html
Line: 22

If I then hold Shift and reload, I get this JavaScript error:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnUnloadDesktop is not a function

But the page loads properly otherwise.

This indicates that something is being destroyed and then
trying to use it after it's gone.

========
In IE 6, on pressing Set Desktop, I get a different error
from the one reported.  In an alert-style popup, in addition
to the script error popup:

An error has occured in this dialog.

Error: 84
Unspecified error.

And the odd thing, the IE script error popup has no content:

Line: 
Char: 
Error: 
Code: 
URL: 

But clicking "OK" on the alert-style popup closes the IE
script error popup as well.

Reloading the page AFTER clicking Set Desktop yields the
following script error:

Line: 198

Error: Can't execute code from a freed script
Code: 0

Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

Then the page reloads just fine.

First, thanks a lot for checking this problem. 

Your test code does work. To reproduce my problem, please 
unzip my attached file and put it in "test" folder under the 
dynapi's "examples" folder. "desktop.html" is the entrance 
page. Please follow steps below to see the problem:

==========================================
Problem for IE6:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the the lower frame of the screen.

Step 2: click "Set Desktop" button to redraw the lower frame 
of the screen. You can see how the yellow layer and blue 
layer disappear.

==========================================
BTW, I just found another problem for the same code when 
running it in firefox 1.0.1. Below are the steps to reproduce 
the problem:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in

using.  I did not see the problem with dynapi-3.0.0-beta2. 
So provide a complete example of the failure, and the DynAPI
version you're using.

I haven't been able to reproduce this error. My test case is
http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/releases/dynapi3x/test/006.Redraw.html

Can you supply the complete code for your example that fails?

Initial Comment:
layer2 is a dynlayer object which is already a children of 
dynlayer object layer1. The following redraw logic does 
not work in IE 6.0

layer2.removeFromParent();	 
layer1.addChild(layer2);

Below is the error message:

It seems to me that we run into a problem caused by 
using "global variables" in a set of APIs that try to achieve 
OO programming in javascript environment. 

I think if dynapi users stick to dynapi objects, as in my 
example code, the application should behave in a way that 
OO programmers expect -- certainly, only if that's possible 
within the limitation of browsers.

I don't think it's up to the dynapi.  JavaScript can only do
what the browser allows.  If the browser does not allow it,
we can't do anything.

On the other hand, we /may/ be able to look at what the
functions are doing and devise a way to achieve what we want.

Thanks a lot, Andrew.  
I feel like being executed. But I do see how it's getting tricky 
when you try to control the contents of another window. 
Question is: Can be fixed theoretically? Will the dynapi 
development group formally abandon supporting frames?

The removeFromParent() function deletes the DIV element
associated with the DynLayer from the DOM. The addChild()
function creates a new element and inserts it into the
parents (layer1) DOM.

The problem is that the _create() function in dynlayer_ie.js
uses "document.createElement()" to create the new DIV
element. Because this action is initiated from your "Set
Desktop" button, the "document" variable refers to the menu
document, not the content document. You cannot add an
element created in one frame to the DOM of another frame.

One workaround is to remove the "if" statement on line 16 of
dynlayer_ie.js so that lines 17-18 are executed instead of
the "else" block (lines 21-50). This avoids using the
document.createElement function altogether and your code
seems to work.

However I'm not sure that is this is a good long term
solution. I've tried to get the code to use the parent
elements document object to create the new element, but that
has always failed with permission errors.

Another solution is to just stop using frames :)

They are not two copies of the same function, they are two
different functions with the same name:

        // redraw desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktopContents.removeFromParent();
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };
        
        // show cached desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktop = this.parent.desktop.content;
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };

I don't know how to correct this, you must do it.

The first thing I've noticed is that menu.html contains two
different definitions of the "OnLoadDesktop()" function.
This makes it hard to follow the logic. Would you mind
correcting this?

Hi.  It was Andrew (agillett) who changed Resolution to
Works for Me, before the example was supplied.  Now I see
the problem as you describe.

========
In Firefox, if reload, I get this error in the JavaScript
console:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnLoadDesktop is not a function
Source File:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html
Line: 22

If I then hold Shift and reload, I get this JavaScript error:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnUnloadDesktop is not a function

But the page loads properly otherwise.

This indicates that something is being destroyed and then
trying to use it after it's gone.

========
In IE 6, on pressing Set Desktop, I get a different error
from the one reported.  In an alert-style popup, in addition
to the script error popup:

An error has occured in this dialog.

Error: 84
Unspecified error.

And the odd thing, the IE script error popup has no content:

Line: 
Char: 
Error: 
Code: 
URL: 

But clicking "OK" on the alert-style popup closes the IE
script error popup as well.

Reloading the page AFTER clicking Set Desktop yields the
following script error:

Line: 198
Char: 19
Error: Can't execute code from a freed script
Code: 0
URL: file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/menu.html

Followed by:

Line: 22
Char: 4
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html

Then the page reloads just fine.

I'll have to look into it some more.

First, thanks a lot for checking this problem. 

Your test code does work. To reproduce my problem, please 
unzip my attached file and put it in "test" folder under the 
dynapi's "examples" folder. "desktop.html" is the entrance 
page. Please follow steps below to see the problem:

==========================================
Problem for IE6:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the the lower frame of the screen.

Step 2: click "Set Desktop" button to redraw the lower frame 
of the screen. You can see how the yellow layer and blue 
layer disappear.

==========================================
BTW, I just found another problem for the same code when 
running it in firefox 1.0.1. Below are the steps to reproduce 
the problem:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the upper frame of the screen.

Step 2: click the browser's "reload" button to refresh the page.
You'll see that "toolbar1" disappears

First, thanks a lot for checking this problem. 

Your test code does work. To reproduce my problem, please 
unzip my attached file and put it in "test" folder under the 
dynapi's "examples" folder. "desktop.html" is the entrance 
page. Please follow steps below to see the problem:

==========================================
Problem for IE6:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the the lower frame of the screen.

Step 2: click "Set Desktop" button to redraw the lower frame 
of the screen. You can see how the yellow layer and blue 
layer disappear.

==========================================
BTW, I just found another problem for the same code when 
running it in firefox 1.0.1. Below are the steps to reproduce 
the problem:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the upper frame of the screen.

Step 2: click the browser's "reload" button to refresh the page.
You'll see that "toolbar1" disappears

Also, let us know what specific version of DynAPI you are
using.  I did not see the problem with dynapi-3.0.0-beta2. 
So provide a complete example of the failure, and the DynAPI
version you're using.

Summary: unable to redraw dynlayer object in IE 6.0

Initial Comment:
layer2 is a dynlayer object which is already a children of 
dynlayer object layer1. The following redraw logic does 
not work in IE 6.0

layer2.removeFromParent();	 
layer1.addChild(layer2);

Below is the error message:

The removeFromParent() function deletes the DIV element
associated with the DynLayer from the DOM. The addChild()
function creates a new element and inserts it into the
parents (layer1) DOM.

The problem is that the _create() function in dynlayer_ie.js
uses "document.createElement()" to create the new DIV
element. Because this action is initiated from your "Set
Desktop" button, the "document" variable refers to the menu
document, not the content document. You cannot add an
element created in one frame to the DOM of another frame.

One workaround is to remove the "if" statement on line 16 of
dynlayer_ie.js so that lines 17-18 are executed instead of
the "else" block (lines 21-50). This avoids using the
document.createElement function altogether and your code
seems to work.

However I'm not sure that is this is a good long term
solution. I've tried to get the code to use the parent
elements document object to create the new element, but that
has always failed with permission errors.

Another solution is to just stop using frames :)

They are not two copies of the same function, they are two
different functions with the same name:

        // redraw desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktopContents.removeFromParent();
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };
        
        // show cached desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktop = this.parent.desktop.content;
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };

I don't know how to correct this, you must do it.

The first thing I've noticed is that menu.html contains two
different definitions of the "OnLoadDesktop()" function.
This makes it hard to follow the logic. Would you mind
correcting this?

Hi.  It was Andrew (agillett) who changed Resolution to
Works for Me, before the example was supplied.  Now I see
the problem as you describe.

========
In Firefox, if reload, I get this error in the JavaScript
console:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnLoadDesktop is not a function
Source File:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html
Line: 22

If I then hold Shift and reload, I get this JavaScript error:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnUnloadDesktop is not a function

But the page loads properly otherwise.

This indicates that something is being destroyed and then
trying to use it after it's gone.

========
In IE 6, on pressing Set Desktop, I get a different error
from the one reported.  In an alert-style popup, in addition
to the script error popup:

An error has occured in this dialog.

Error: 84
Unspecified error.

And the odd thing, the IE script error popup has no content:

Line: 
Char: 
Error: 
Code: 
URL: 

But clicking "OK" on the alert-style popup closes the IE
script error popup as well.

Reloading the page AFTER clicking Set Desktop yields the
following script error:

Line: 198
Char: 19
Error: Can't execute code from a freed script
Code: 0
URL: file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/menu.html

Followed by:

Line: 22
Char: 4
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html

Then the page reloads just fine.

I'll have to look into it some more.

Summary: small bug & fix in debug.js and debug.html

Initial Comment:
I found a small "bug" with the debugger when I use 
absolute path for dynapi.library.path, such as below:

	dynapi.library.setPath('/dynapi/src/');

The symptom is that you get "page does not exist" error 
when you try to open the debugger.

The following 2 modifications can fix this problem:

1. In debug.js, find the code for opening the debugger 
and use the dynapi.documentPath only if the 
dynapi.library.path is not an absolute path:

-------------------------------------------------
// opens the debugger window
p.open = function() {
	var p = dynapi.library.path;
	if (!this.isLoaded() && p) {
		var url;
		var s = new String(p);
		if( s.substr(0,1)== '/')
			url = p 
+ 'ext/debug.html#';
		else
			url = 
dynapi.documentPath+p+'ext/debug.html#';
---------------------------------------------------------------

2. In debug.html, use the same method when any 
resource URL is constructed. So far I just found the 
following two locations where change is necessary:

----------------------------------------------------------------
<!--D4D0C8-->
<script>
	var ua=dynapi.ua;
	var url;			
	var s = new String(dynapi.library.path);
	if( s.substr(0,1) == '/')
		url = dynapi.library.path+'ext/';
	else
		url = 
dynapi.documentPath+dynapi.library.path+'ext/';
-------------------------------------------------------------------
	function setFocus(){
		dynapi={'_imageHook':NullFn};
		if(window.opener) dynapi = 
window.opener.dynapi;
		if(dynapi && dynapi.debug) {
			if(!dynapi.debug.win) 
dynapi.debug.win=win;
			var url;		
	
			var s = new String
(dynapi.library.path);
			if( s.substr(0,1) == '/')
				url = 
dynapi.library.path+'ext/';
			else
				url = 
dynapi.documentPath+dynapi.library.path+'ext/';
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, this might not be the best solution - just want to 
share some experience with other dynapi users. And 
tell the truth, I love dynapi's elegancy and really 
appreciate the effort from dynapi creators and 
contributors.

The captureKeyEvents() method in dynkeyevent.js
contains the code:

DynElement.prototype.captureKeyEvents=function() {
	var
elm=(this.getClassName()=='DynLayer')?this.elm:this.doc;

which works fine if you want to capture key events on
the DynDocument or a DynLayer, but fails for all other
classes.
This is a corrected version:

DynElement.prototype.captureKeyEvents=function() {

The corrected version allows you to capture key events

elm=(this.getClassName()=='DynLayer')?this.elm:this.doc;

which works fine if you want to capture key events on
the DynDocument or a DynLayer, but fails for all other
classes.
This is a corrected version:

DynElement.prototype.captureKeyEvents=function() {
	var
elm=(this.getClassName()=='DynDocument')?this.doc:this.elm;

The corrected version allows you to capture key events
on any subclass of DynElement.

Summary: unable to redraw dynlayer object in IE 6.0

Initial Comment:
layer2 is a dynlayer object which is already a children of 
dynlayer object layer1. The following redraw logic does 
not work in IE 6.0

layer2.removeFromParent();	 
layer1.addChild(layer2);

Below is the error message:

Line: 51
Char: 4
Error: invalid argument
Code: 0

They are not two copies of the same function, they are two
different functions with the same name:

        // redraw desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktopContents.removeFromParent();
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };
        
        // show cached desktop content
        function OnLoadDesktop(){
                desktop = this.parent.desktop.content;
                desktop.addChild(desktopContents);
        };

I don't know how to correct this, you must do it.

The first thing I've noticed is that menu.html contains two
different definitions of the "OnLoadDesktop()" function.
This makes it hard to follow the logic. Would you mind
correcting this?

Hi.  It was Andrew (agillett) who changed Resolution to
Works for Me, before the example was supplied.  Now I see
the problem as you describe.

========
In Firefox, if reload, I get this error in the JavaScript
console:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnLoadDesktop is not a function
Source File:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html
Line: 22

If I then hold Shift and reload, I get this JavaScript error:

Error: this.parent.menu.OnUnloadDesktop is not a function

But the page loads properly otherwise.

This indicates that something is being destroyed and then
trying to use it after it's gone.

========
In IE 6, on pressing Set Desktop, I get a different error
from the one reported.  In an alert-style popup, in addition
to the script error popup:

An error has occured in this dialog.

Error: 84
Unspecified error.

And the odd thing, the IE script error popup has no content:

Line: 
Char: 
Error: 
Code: 
URL: 

But clicking "OK" on the alert-style popup closes the IE
script error popup as well.

Reloading the page AFTER clicking Set Desktop yields the
following script error:

Line: 198
Char: 19
Error: Can't execute code from a freed script
Code: 0
URL: file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/menu.html

Followed by:

Line: 22
Char: 4
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL:
file:///path/to/dynapi-3.0.0-beta2/examples/test/content.html

Then the page reloads just fine.

I'll have to look into it some more.

First, thanks a lot for checking this problem. 

Your test code does work. To reproduce my problem, please 
unzip my attached file and put it in "test" folder under the 
dynapi's "examples" folder. "desktop.html" is the entrance 
page. Please follow steps below to see the problem:

==========================================
Problem for IE6:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the the lower frame of the screen.

Step 2: click "Set Desktop" button to redraw the lower frame 
of the screen. You can see how the yellow layer and blue 
layer disappear.

==========================================
BTW, I just found another problem for the same code when 
running it in firefox 1.0.1. Below are the steps to reproduce 
the problem:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the upper frame of the screen.

Step 2: click the browser's "reload" button to refresh the page.
You'll see that "toolbar1" disappears

So provide a complete example of the failure, and the DynAPI

Problem for IE6:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the the lower frame of the screen.

Step 2: click "Set Desktop" button to redraw the lower frame 
of the screen. You can see how the yellow layer and blue 
layer disappear.

==========================================
BTW, I just found another problem for the same code when 
running it in firefox 1.0.1. Below are the steps to reproduce 
the problem:

Step 1: browse page: "desktop.html" and remember what's in 
the upper frame of the screen.

Step 2: click the browser's "reload" button to refresh the page.
You'll see that "toolbar1" disappears

Also, let us know what specific version of DynAPI you are
using.  I did not see the problem with dynapi-3.0.0-beta2. 
So provide a complete example of the failure, and the DynAPI
version you're using.

I haven't been able to reproduce this error. My test case is
http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/releases/dynapi3x/test/006.Redraw.html

Can you supply the complete code for your example that fails?
