[Dynapi-Help] A possible bug with DynLayer.deleteAllChildren?

[Andrew G. <an...@zo...>]

Hi,

Attached is an HTML file that illustrates a problem I've had with 
DynAPI3. The page contains two buttons and creates a DynLayer in its 
"init" method. When the "Add layers" button is pressed, three new 
DynLayers are added to the top level layer - no problem. When the 
"Remove layers" button is pressed, the deleteAllChildren method is 
called on the top DynLayer, but only the first two child layers 
disappear - the third one stays put. This problem occurs on IE5, IE6 and 
Mozilla1.3.

While looking at the "deleteAllChidren" function in src/api/event.js, I 
found that I could fix the problem (sort of) by changing direction of 
the "for" loop on line 164 from:
    for(var i=0;i<l;i++){
to
    for(var i=l-1;i>=0;i--){
however I don't understand why this change would make any difference.  
And it leaks memory with or without my change, so I expect that it isn't 
a proper fix in any case.

So, is this a bug or am I simply doing something wrong?
