[Dynapi-Dev] Template Manager Preview #2

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Hello Everyone,

With the release of this version of the TemplatManager
I've managed to create a new type of DynAPI components
called HTMLComponents.

What are HTMLComponents (HC)?
--------------------------
These are insertable DynAPI components that renders to
pure HTML codes. Most HTMLComponents are design-time
components, meaning you can only change their
properties before they are inserted into the document
or template.
 If you change the property of a design-time only
component after it has been inserted into the document
or template, you'll have to re-insert the component
(or regenerate the template) for the new changes to be
made visible. 
 HCs were specifically designed to work with
TemplateManager but can also be used to generate HMTL
for other DynAPI widgets.

See an example here (currently works best in IE):

If you're having problems with the site then have a
look at the attached screenshot.

You might have to refesh your browser to download the
modified scripts.

It would be cool if others can join in and help create
some HTMLComponents as they're very easy to create.
Here's a list of some that I've thought of. The one
with + before them I'm currently working on:

+ HTMLHyperLink,
+ HTMLRollover,
+ HTMLCalendar,
+ HTMLContainer
HTMLClock
HTMLGraph
HTMLButton
HTMLTextBox - multiline,password property
HTMLRadioButton
HTMLCheckBox
HTMLListBox
HTMLDropDown
HTMLFile
HTMLGrid

Can you think of others?

Any comments, suggestions. Good idea or bad idea?
