[Dynapi-Help] add HTML to dynlayer, Konqueror3 port?

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Hello!

I've taken the P.S. out of the other email and started a new thread.  This
is so it doesn't get buried in the mailing list archives.  :)

This I'm not sure of.  Could we maybe add methods appendHTML and
prependHTML?  It might be too much, but I start thinking of my experience
with the autocompletion code, and using DOM text ranges.  This way you could
position a "cursor" within the string and insert or delete text at that
point.  Maybe such functionality is there by using existing JavaScript
string methods directly on dynLyr.html, but this may be bad form, as it's
probably best to leave it as semi-private data?

I can't speak to this, but it would require someone with knowledge of
Konqueror (or ability to figure it out on-the-fly), and a Linux system
running an X-server (or remote access to a Linux system and X-server via
XWin32 or VNC).  I'd be good for supplying the Linux access, except my
upload bandwidth is only 10k and might not be good for VNC, but XWin32
should probably work, although I never tested so I'd be curious to see how
things worked.  Would definitely be receptive to talking over the finer
details off list or in IM if we go to a testing stage.  As it stands now I
don't have X running on a box, but shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
