Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] "Menu" list.js widget fixes

[Nicola M. <nic...@ho...>]

look cool on ie and ns 4 but it's nor working on ns 6
I think coz of the getContentWidth() and getContentHeight() they 
unfortunally don't work on ns 6
Or it can also be the setHTML u r using in ur DynAPI for both ns 4 and 6 u 
need to add a <nobr> tag aound your HTML

Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] "Menu" list.js widget fixes

[Nicola M. <nic...@ho...>]

the problem is that unless we use a setTimeout in the createElement() for 
netscape 6 there is no way to get the getContentWidth() and Height() to work 
in ns 6 the problem with that tough is that if you have very complex widget 
ns 6 just will never finish creating  'em
the problem is not with the DynAPI it's with the browser itself
(damn it!)

so the only fix I can think of is to to have a ns6SetSize() in the widget 
itself that will take care of the list size for ns 6

I haven't look at list,js so I'm just giving some idea not sure how it works

u might wanna try to change this on ur setHTML it might help u too:
DynLayer.prototype.setHTML=function(html) {
	this.html=(typeof html=='string')?html:'' //OLD: this.html=html?html:''
	if (!this.created) return
    this.invokeEvent("beforeload")
    this.elm.innerHTML=this.html

    if (is.ns) html=(this.w==null)?'<NOBR>'+this.html+'</NOBR>':this.html
    if (is.ns4) {
        this.doc.open()
        this.doc.write(html)
        this.doc.close()
        for (i in this.doc.images) this.doc.images[i].lyrobj=this
    } else if (is.ns5) {
        while (this.elm.hasChildNodes()) 
this.elm.removeChild(this.elm.firstChild)
        var r=this.elm.ownerDocument.createRange()
        r.selectNodeContents(this.elm)
        r.collapse(true)
        var df=r.createContextualFragment(html)
        this.elm.appendChild(df)
        for (i in this.doc.images) this.doc.images[i].lyrobj=this.elm
    } else for (i in this.elm.all.tags("img")) 
{if(i=='length')this.elm.all.tags("img")[i].lyrobj=this}

    this.invokeEvent("load")
}

what this does it puts a <NOBR> tag around the html of a layer so that if u 
don't specified the size of the layer it makes it grow any way to the html 
size

just a temporary fix for the size problem but there are still other problem 
to be fixed on ns 6:

add this is the function List(){
line 107,108
this.items.height=20

then change this:

List.prototype.arrangeItems = function(){
	this.totalHeight = this.listStyle.borders;
	for (var i=0;i<this.items.length;i++){
		this.items[i].moveTo(this.listStyle.borders,this.totalHeight);
//if ns 6 then we set the size not just the width
		if(!is.ns5)this.items[i].setWidth(this.w-this.listStyle.borders*2);
		else 
this.items[i].setSize(this.w-this.listStyle.borders*2,this.items.height);
		this.totalHeight = 
this.totalHeight+this.items[i].h+this.listStyle.spacing;
	}
	this.setHeight(this.totalHeight-this.listStyle.spacing+this.listStyle.borders);
};


then add this ugly method:

List.prototype.ns6ListItemHeight=function(h){this.items.height=h}

you can call this in your HTML page like myList.ns6ListItemHeight(25)

now with this fix I can see the list but still the select and deselect don't 
work on ns 6 and also they kind of work funny in ns 4
