RE: [Dynapi-Help] DynAPI and Opera

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

development as far as i know has been stopped on 2.57 and has moved onto
version 3 fork (in the CVS)
i have actually fixed a few opera bugs but i havent released the patches
yet,  parts of the problem was Opera is "also" IE and api/browser.js didnt
allow for this, after modifying with a

this.opera=(this.ua.indexOf("opera")>0) && !this.ie;

the debugging could begin :), the clip property needed changing so i swapped
in the setClip from the V3 fork and clip now works properly in all browsers,
there are a few branches in dynlayer that was also stopping it so after the
correct if(is.dom||is.opera) things worked

i will submit patches as soon as i can, you can view my later correct
browser.js and dynLayer i modified

http://just.remember.mine.nu/sh0rtie/js/dynapi/api/browser.js
http://just.remember.mine.nu/sh0rtie/js/dynapi/api/dynlayer.js
http://just.remember.mine.nu/sh0rtie/js/dynapi/api/dyndocument.js

also dyndocument needed tweaking (IIRC) and the correct branching again
(because of the opera = IE problem) and refrencing the correct dom
documentElement instead of document.body to return the correct position to
strict mode documents (with a doctype xhtml etc)

iam also trying to work around a few event handler problems on opera
(nothing really serious iirc) i have also modified events for mozilla/IE for
mousewheel events be nice to have mousewheel events for opera too :)
http://just.remember.mine.nu/sh0rtie/js/dynapi/events/mouse.js

so far i have the modifed api running in the latest Opera and seems to be
fine, i should make a few testcases as soon as i get some time, but their
isnt much you can do to your browser to fix it
(aside from the dhtml performance is a bit slow compared to ie6 ;)  so glad
you support createElement at last :)

sorry for the long response but this list doesnt see much traffic thesedays
(everyone is having fun with v3 afaik)

anyway all the best to you at Opera
