RE: [Dynapi-Help] New List, Label and Window Widgets

[Daniel T. <de...@ti...>]

Hi Brian!

I like the idee, but i think its more up to the site developer to use
those functions than to add it to the widget. I will use it myself, but
i will keep track of these things on the server, and use the minimized
option in the constructor instead.

Regards
Daniel

I also have a question or a comment....

Being that the window widget simulates something that you would see on
your PC, would it not make sense to have this widget remember state of a
window? Similar to a PC's windows? I would imagine using cookies would
do the trick.

Food for thought..

Hi Daniel,

I have been looking at your stacker and window widgets, and I also think
they are excellent.

I have a couple of very minor issues that you may like to look at:

- stacker.js has various methods that use the variable 'i' for a loop
counter without declaring the variable to be local.  I had some very
strange side-effects when I used a for-loop with iterator 'i' to add
windows to the stacker.  I think that the remove(), move(), and
generate() methods all need a "var i;" declaration.

- I have made a sub-class of Window that sets the height of the content
layer to the natural height of content HTML.  But to do this, I had to
make a couple of minor tweaks to  the Window constructor.  A "diff" for
my changes is below.

  Firstly, I put most of the constructor code into an
"if(arguments.length>0)" block.  This allows the constructor to be
called without any arguments, which is necessary if you want to set
Window as the prototype of a sub-class.
  Next, I added an "if(this.h)" test before the line that sets the
content height.  This is purely for my purposes as I didn't want to
explicitly set the height of the content layer.
  Finally, I added a semi-colon on line 27 to keep the compressor happy
:)

I hope you don't mind me posting these changes.  If you would like to
see my sub-class (it's not much), just let me know.

Thank you for these widgets, and keep up the good work!

Andrew Gillett
