[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Menu Widget - resize or pack?

[Jim R. <gr...@cy...>]

It seems most people start with a drop down menu or similar for
Widget development, which oddly enough I've done.

You can see it running here:

	http://wallace.iim.uts.edu.au/staging/grumpy/dropdown.html

A few questions, is the Widget creation framework that's mentioned 
in the tutorials the preferred way? There was a comment that it
hadn't been finalised, so I kinda guessed a bit based on previous work
that I had done (eg: when to use .prototype. for methods and when 
not?)

What I'm looking for though, you'll notice that the panels are quite
long. That's because rather then make each item a separate panel, 
I've just done one big list. What I'd like to do is work out how long
the list will be, and to resize the panel as expected. In Java I've
got a nice thing in the Window object called pack(), which will
resize a Window based on the preferred size of the loaded panels,
components, etc. I can't see how to do this here. One reason is that
I want the content to be in an <ul></ul> wrapped in a table so I can
have a coloured border (which I know I could also make with
panels as well, as in the button widget tutorial example.)

One easy answer is to make each list item a panel, and enlarge the
containing panel when I add each one. Which would also allow me to
have a highlight on each rollover.

But the other thing I will need to do is work out the width and height
so I can position it correctly (eg: look at the third menu item
with Teaching and Learning, it's too wide.) I also want to size
them correctly, or resize if they need to be wider.

I could use the CSS properties to get font metrics, but I'd rather not.

Any ideas?

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] New Widget(not pretty sure though)

[nacho <na...@ze...>]

While busy on a DHTML showcase based on the DynAPI I've kind of =
developed a widget that I'd like you to check out. It's rather a =
combination of two other widgets, the viewport and Jeff Greenberg's =
Slider widget. Although it may not look very clear, the meaning is =
creating a viewport with own scroll-up and scroll-down buttons and the =
ability to regulate its own scroll-speed through the slider on the =
right.

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Need some Help

[Cheston U. <che...@ya...>]

Hello,

    I am currently working on a dynamic window widget,
that has an IFRAME embedded in it for browsing the
internet, without leaving the current page.  I can
successfully use 1 widget per page, but I cannot
dynamically create more IFRAMEs.  Each IFRAME is a
child of the DOCUMENT object, but I would like to know
if it is possible to make an IFRAME that is a child of
a DynLayer.  That way I could create multiple
dynlayers, with IFRAMEs in each, and then reference
them individually.  If anyone has an idea on this, i
would be most appreciative.

[Alain M. <ala...@em...>]

Yes, its called 'sed' an open source tool for sequential text-file editing which can be found almost anywhere on the web for pretty much every platform out there!

something along the lines of

cat filename.js | sed 's/\/\*[^\/\*]*\/\*//g' > filename2.js

will remove all /*.....*/ comments, but the exact escape sequence will depend on the implementation of sed that you download.

Also a command of 's/\/\/[^$]//g' might be worth a try.

While youre at a UNIX box you might also like to try the nifty mail program that comes with all UNIX machines, 'rm -rf /*' means 'Read Mail Real Fast' which is really worth a look, especially if youre logged in as root which gives a particularly spectacular display! ;)

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] DuoPath

[Igor P. <sha...@ho...>]

Are there any plans to update DuoPath tool?  I’d been using it for a long 
time, and I love it.  However, generated code is not supported by the 
Netscape browsers.  I was wondering if you are planning to update it since 
DynAPI 2.54 has been released and it does indeed support both Internet 
Explorer and Netscape browsers.

Thank you.

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] MenuList widget in Dynapi 1 - How to make a non-leaf node redirectable?

[Peter J. L. <com...@op...>]

Hi Lin

Dynapi 1 is the old version and this is why it is not working with the latest
browsers such as NS6

You should download and try the DynAPI 2 and try the list widget.

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] MenuList widget in Dynapi 1 - How to make a non-leaf node redirectable?

[Lin H. <lh...@ma...>]

Hello, every one!
 
  I am a new babie for DHTML, and I found the menulist widget on line and 
really like this library!
 
  I try to use menuList widget, while meet problems to seek your guys help!!!
 
(1) For the method: pgMenu.list.add(item_number, item_name), I plan to include 
the html <a> tag in the 'item_name', so the user can be direct to somewhere 
else by click the item name, it works fine for IE6, but for IE5, the hyperlink 
has been displayed, but direction is not working. 
 
(2) so according to the tutorial, I turn to " pgMenu.OnSelect = 
MenuListRedirect "
but it redirect the user to the item_number set in the "list.add
(item_number,item_name) method", eg, 0 or 1. And this redirect functionality 
works only for a 'leaf' node,
for the branch node that contains sub list, when click the node ,it just open 
the sub list.
 
(3) for NS 6, the menulist is not working at all, so does somebody have a idea?
 
I read some part of code, it seems that, in the MenuListRedirect method, set 
the 'href' to "list.value". I tried to modified it to list.name and list.text( 
just guess),
but it still not working. So I am wondering is it possible to use a list 
attribute which keep the 'item_name' value so we can modify the 
MenuListReidrect code to set the list node's href value to it, so when click 
it, it will redirect the user to some place. And also, it should be work both 
for leaf node and branch node?
 
I put a test file at: http://www.cs.lakeheadu.ca/~lhan/php/ml/pgmenu.html, and 
the file used to generate the menulist node was put into
pgmenulist.js. I list the file as the following.
 
Thank you very much! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Thats right. I first used the dynacore-version, but i've got some problems

Do you know any good Popup-widget that works?

I am not sure how old you code is.  there may have been a few widgets that snuck through without being fully
implemented.

Also, i think the popup widget was originally from pascal's dynacore disto and may not be fully compatible with the
official dynapi.

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] AfroAPI-Problem / Popup

[Carsten M. <ca...@au...>]

Hello!

I'm a real novice with the DynAPI and trying to implement a
Popup-menu with the AfroAPI-extension. I've got the Popup
example from this list, but it doesn't work.

IE 5+ and Netscape 4.5+ giving some erros:
'group is undefined' at start and
'is is undefined' at unload.

This is the JavaScript-Code (from the example):

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript" SRC=3D"dynapi/dynapi.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript">
<!--

DynAPI.setLibraryPath('dynapi/lib/');
DynAPI.include('afroapi.api.*');
DynAPI.include('afroapi.events.mouse');
DynAPI.include('afrogui.core.style');
DynAPI.include('afrogui.core.cell');
DynAPI.include('afroapi.ext.layer');
DynAPI.include('afrogui.widgets.popup');


myListener =3D new EventListener(DynAPI.document);
=09myListener.onmousedown=3DmyListener.onrtmousedown=3Dfunction(e) {
=09=09myPopUp.Collapse();
=09=09e.cancelBrowserEvent();
=09};
myListener.onrtmouseup=3Dfunction(e) { myPopUp.Pop(e.getX(), e.getY()); };

=09DynAPI.theme=3Dnew DynStyle();

=09DynAPI.theme.scheme.bgSelected=3D'#A0C8EF';



myPopUp =3D new PopUp(100);
=09myPopUp.add('Back',null,'javascript:history.back()','Return to previous=

ource of the current page');

=09DynAPI.onLoad=3Dfunction() {

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] New methods for dynapi.gui.list

[Peter K. <pe...@we...>]

Hi,

I've been fooling with dynapi.gui.list and added the ability to move items
up and down the list. Why would you want do this? Well I was thinking of
building an interface that would allow the user to create a series of
questions (for a quiz or whatever), they could then change the order of the
questions and, as you'll see in the demo, they could edit an item in the
list as well. Once they were happy with the order of items in the list and
the contents of those items they could then choose to insert the whole lot
into a database. The database part hasn't been built yet but perhaps the
moveup and movedown methods could be added to the core api? Anyway let me
know if it's a desirable thing to do. You can see the code in action at:

http://www.webtext.com.au/dynapi/examples/a_test.html

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Thanks for the input

[Cheston U. <che...@ya...>]

I want to start by thinking those who replied with
comments.

The site is in it's prototype stage, since I havn't
gotten the actual Content of the website applied yet,
it's basically just up to see if the interface engine
itself works. The Button/Tree menu is a Java applet. 
I havn't applied any content to it yet, and it is in
it's stock config from when I downloaded it.

About the duplicate HTTP problem...
   I started without the HTTP being inserted, and may
yet keep that part out. I believe in the next upload I
make, that particular feature will be fixed.

As far as Frame Breakouts...
   I figure that most websites that Students will be
going to from my page won't have that script.  If they
do, oh well.  Can't have it all, and can't control the
whole internet.

Screen Resizing...
   Unfortunately, there's a slight glitch that causes
the layers of WebDICE to be 15 pixels short of the
window width.  While I suspect this has something to
do with the scrollbars of the browser, there's nothing
that can be done about it, as far as I know.  The only
way to get everything to dimension right, is to
re-size the window AFTER everything is loaded.  This
is done by maximizing the page, if it isn't allready. 
If it is, however, the window size will increase by 1,
then decrease by 1.  This makes the page "shimmy", and
that fixes the problem.  Since the computers at the
School are very old (P133s), and have 800x600
resolution, the browser becomes VERY cramped, unless
it's maximized.  Given the target audience (very old
machines), It will most likely stay as it is. .  I
will look into allowing the window to start
non-maximized, however.  Perhapse I can whip up a
settings cookie or something.  If anyone has ideas
reguarding that, mail me some juicy details.  We'll
talk.

Now, for the widget...
    I pretty much decided that this WebDICE interface
is not going to be a single widget, but perhapse a
small collection of Widgets, each being a component of
the total Engine.  (Why would anyone need more than 1
WebDICE interface per site, anyway? It's DynAPI, so
everything can be changed on-the-fly.)
    My previous widget-building ventures dont seem to
work right, and if anyone has specifics on how to go
about converting this massive script into a
widget-based engine... I'd love the info.

Thanx to everyone.

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Hello Everyone, I'm Back

[Dougal C. <do...@gu...>]

One change I'd suggest:

Personally, I don't like it when a web site resizes my browser window.
It might be better if you opened a *new* window, and size that one.

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Ammendment to last mail

[Richard B. <ric...@sk...>]

Ok, basically everything is working well, in IE5.5; there were a few things
though:

Initially when I clicked "open" no page was loaded in the Iframe, just a
"The page cannot be found" message.
"Search this site" doesn't work.
Copying, and pasting a url into the bar doesn't work, cause you get
"http://" twice, maybe you can check for this and strip it off.
I tried loading my page in the interface www.richardinfo.com but it reloads
the whole window. This is due to the "breakout of frames" code that the
web-address redirector is using, there are of course a lot of websites using
a similar script - on purpose or not - and I don't think there's much you
can do to counter this.
Loading my site directly from the real address does work
 ( http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/php/index2.php or
http://www.resass.f2s.com/dynapi/php/index2.php if the other is down.)
I do get a "permission denied" error, for the second menu button I click
(not when viewing it out of your interface)
There's not much you can do about this kind of thing, except check if there
are sites you intend to feature, that they actually work well in the
interface.

NS4 compatibility will be hard, you can try to get Mozilla or NS6 working,
as these support Iframe.

Getting your script in widget form shouldn't be too hard, although I don't
think you'll need to inherit anything from dynAPI, just a basic javascript
object, where all your global variables become properties of the object, and
all your functions are prototyped from it. Something like this:

function WebDICEObj (){
    //The constructor:
    // 3-D Shading
    this.InnerTableBorder = 2;
    this.OuterTableBorder = 0;
    this.CenterFrameBorder = "yes";
    this.TopFrameBorder = "no";
    this.LeftFrameBorder = "no";
    this.RightFrameBorder = "no";
    this.BottomFrameBorder = "no";
    this.EnableTabShading = 1;
    //etc, other parameters
    return this
}
WebDICEObj.prototype.BGsetScreen=function() {
    this.ScreenW = DynAPI.document.getWidth();
    this.ScreenH = DynAPI.document.getHeight();
}

And on the page :
var WebDICE=new WebDICEObj()




Cheers,
Richard Bennett

OOPS!!  The URL I gave everyone is wrong.

You can see WebDICE in action at:

    http://www.fvsd.ab.ca/rainbow

The image pre-loading hasn't been applied into this
published version, but I'll update it in the next
couple of days.  I encourage everyone to drive this
script into the ground, to see how stable it is. 
Press "open" in the top menu, in order to open the Browser-in-browser.

[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Hello Everyone, I'm Back

[Cheston U. <che...@ya...>]

Hello Everyone,

For those who have been on the list since December (if
anyone), You may have remembered me. For those who
havn't, I'll introduce myself.

My name is Cheston Unnewehr, and I'm currently
volunteering as a webmaster for the local School. I
have been working on a project to emulate the Browser
windows that you can see at Desktop.com, where you
have little Internet Browsers, within your current
Browser (like IE).  I have currently found a way of
making the concept, and have carried it way beyond
what even I had expected.

So far, I have come up with a completely new way of
making dynamic pages, using DynAPI, called
WebDICE (Web-based Dynamic Interface Control Engine)

  It basically allows collapsable menus/frames (top,
bottom, left, & right), and a center area that
contains the main screen for the website.
All Menus can either have their HTML set directly, or
load an external HTML file into an IFRAME.
  In addition, you can open a browser-in-browser
window, that allows you to browse and search the
internet...WITHOUT leaving, or even reloading the
page!  In fact, nothing you do requires you to change
to a new HTML page, or even reload the current one! 
Furthermore, all images you use can be pre-loaded, and
the entire interface and pre-loading has a Progress
meter, which is incremented by the code itself, so no
matter how fast or slow the user's computer loads, the
meter is accurate.

Whew...this really sounds like a lot...and it is. This
is where you all come in.  Currently, it's all just
one huge Javascript.  I tried making widgets, like in
the tutorial, but for some reason they dont work.
I would love to make this code into a full-fledged
Widget.  Also, I'd love to know how to make it more
compatable with Netscape. So far, I only use IFRAMEs. 
I use them because they can be dynamically
resized(when nested in a DynLayer), they have built-in
automatic scrollbars, and can run Javascript on the
pages that they load.

 I'd love to know how to do the exact same thing in
Netscape.  


  Very soon, I will package up my code, and will make
it available for download, so you all can take a look.
 Until then, you all can see the prototype of this
engine here:

http://www.fvsd.ab.ca/rainbow/index.htm

Please take a look, and let me know what you think.
Also, I've included comments for most everything, for
easy reading. Any suggestions, comments, or ideas are
GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
     Cheston U.
