Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Relative DynLayers

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Thanks for the files. They work fine in an earlier CVS
version but not in my new one. I best check I haven't
made a mistake.

There is a typo in dynlayer_ns4.js: p.getOuterHTML()
-if(this._psition!='absolute') tag='ilayer';
+if(this._position!='absolute') tag='ilayer';
Will the ilayer be OK with a position of fixed? 

I can't see a reason to create relative layers after the
page loads but yes for fixed and absolute.
