Re: [Dynapi-Help] couple of things...

Hi,

Well, about the first issue, it's a bug that popped up in Mozilla 1.4
(about 15 months ago) that the Mozilla group seems to ignore?  The topic
has been discussed on the list and should be in the archives.  Search
for the error message and you'll find it.  The error can be reproduced
with very simple HTML code and has nothing to do with the API.  It's an
annoying error, but I don't remember it interferring with anything.

I can't speak to the cross-browser or widget interaction stuff off-hand
without investigating further.  A bit of example code is sometimes
helpful, with notes in comments about what you've been trying, so others
can reproduce the results and make suggestions.

I'm not aware of any other site with full documentation.  The
documentation provided is as much as I've seen, though it is incomplete.
It looks nice, but some gaps need to be filled in.  The mailing list
archives for dynapi-help and dynapi-dev may be good resources.  Some of
the examples are pretty good, but could probably be expanded as well.
