[Dynapi-Help] IE5 Mac - DynEvent.getX() reports incorrect position

[Abre C. <ac...@ou...>]

This may or may not be related to the DynAPI...

I'm using 2.5.7 and have been tasked with porting some existing code to =
the Mac IE5.2 environment.  I've noticed that the getX() method of the =
DynEvent returns incorrect values.  The event is occurring in a DynLayer =
which was created inline - which may have something to do with the =
problem...

I've done some debugging (mouse.js ~line 83):

evt.pageX=3Dis.ie?e.x+document.body.scrollLeft:e.pageX;  // e.x =3D 110, =
document.body.scrollLeft =3D 0
evt.x=3Dis.ie?evt.pageX-evt.src.getPageX():e.layerX	 // pageX =3D 110, =
src.getPageX =3D 101

It seems that the initial e.x is being reported incorrectly.  That value =
should be closer to 100.  From what I can tell, this is the "unmolested" =
browser event's x property.  Is the browser returning an incorrect =
coordinate?  Is it buffered with something like document.body.offsetX?  =
Is anyone aware of issues involving the event.x property being incorrect =
for IE5 on the Mac?

I've read that document.body.scrollLeft is unreliable and should be =
replaced with document.documentElement.scrollLeft.  Any truth to that?

Thanks in advance for any advice/discussion.
