Re: [Dynapi-Dev] blkboard ns4 bug

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

Hi Raymond,

I tried your updates. NS4 on Linux still crashes. What
version of Linux are you testing against? NS4 should
come as standard. Using the gnome window manager
start->programs->internet->Netscape Communicator.

Some info' though. I moved the click link to the child
and it works plus clicking the set table size links work
too. Then I noticed if the mouse doesn't move off the
counter link it works but then as soon as the mouse is
moved crash! Attached modified test file.

In dynlayer_ns4.js :
1) _assignElement
There is a comment:
// useful for <forms>, images, links, etc
- perhaps this is the problem area
2) enableBlackboard
var parentElement = this.parent.isClass('DynLayer')?
this.parent.elm : this.parent.frame;
var elm = this._blkBoardElm = new Layer(0, elm);
- the parent should be passed to the new Layer cmd
though this doesn't fix it.

Hope this helps. Does just including 'DynLayer' include
any more of the api by default - I'm thinking of the all
the mouse event stuff. As the problem is with clicked
links rewritten to the blkboard layer with setHTML.
