Not sure about the first question.  Have you triedthe CVS version?  I
didn't know of the technique you're using.  :o  But, would any other
alternative be possible, like actually creating a "floating" layer, and
making it visible on mouse overs?  The advantage would be it works over
an image or over another layer (I think).  Haven't tried this...  Maybe
be other quirks or disadvantages I am not aware of.

About the second, I'm still alive, but was only ever a minor
contributor.  I plan on doing some more work to make the IO Element
stuff work better with Perl & PHP.  Eventually.  I just can't nail down
a time frame.  Not sure where the main contributors have gone.  Don't
want to stress them out or anything.  Hope they're all alive and well at
least.  But a heads-up for the users would be nice if you are still with
the project, silently working on things, or have disgarded the project
for another API or your own custom one, had major surgery (like a
lobotomy), etc..  :-D

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] dynAPI 3.x Beta - tool tip BUG in Mozilla?

Hello,

when the user rolls over an image i want to display a tool tip.
I use the attributes ALT and TITLE inside of an image tag.

The Problem:
When i include the dynapi library "dynapi.api" [...
dynapi.library.include('dynapi.api'); ...] the tool tip does not appear
in Mozilla Clients (Firefox, Mozilla 1.5, 1.6 etc. on W2k)

CODE-EXAMPLE:

<html>

<head>

  <title>Tooltip</title>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/_dynapi/dynapi.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    dynapi.library.setPath('/js/_dynapi/');
    dynapi.library.include('dynapi.api');
  </script>

  <style type="text/css">
    #testElementLayer {position:absolute; left:100px; top:10px;
z-index:10;}
  </style>

</head>

<body>

<div id="testElementLayer" name="testElementLayer">
  <img src="img/image.gif" border="0" name="tafIcon" id="tafIcon"
alt="Lorem Ipsum" title="Lorem Ipsum" />
</div>

</body>

</html>

Can someone help me?

And one more question:
Is the dynapy 3.x project still alive? I ask because the latest snapshot
is "dynapi3x_2003_11_03.zip 03-Nov-2003 11:11" :(

Best regards,
Kevin
