Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynLayer Box Model Fix

[Michael B. <mi...@mi...>]

Raymond,

I STRONGLEY suggest that we render the borders inside the layers...

All the widgets that we create can NOT have a border outside the layer...
If a layer is "100px in width" then it needs to be a "100px in width"

The DynAPI is a precise tool so the layers NEED to be that to.

Well that's what I think :-)

I wrote something for the IOS a while back (included in the IOS release)
when I got sick of using extra lay's for borders (to reduce the memory).
"borderbutton.js" 

This also takes care of all the parent's layer childern.

This is a old version and I made some dynapi3 hacks but you get the point.

There are some minor drawbacks (resizing) because the layers a manipulated
and need to be realign.

Why no use shorthand for the CSS model
lyr.setBorder("10px solid purple")

I've uploaded a test for you to see

How big zip file can I send through to this list??

I've also inclued a css for a grid that I use now and then to test the
locations of layers. I've also included some screen shots of examples.

Rock'n Roll
Michael
