Re: [Dynapi-Help] Making a inline layer dissapear completely (collapse) in IE

I've just tried in Firefox 1.0 and IE6.  The example you gave was slightly broken and didn'twork in Firefox 1.0 or IE6 (need the
*.setPath and *.include calls).  I fixed that and it worked fine in Firefox 1.0 but it only half works in IE6.  The text disappears
in IE6, but the space that the layer occupies does not allow the restof the content to completely shrink, but rather leaves
something as a place holder.  If you comment out the setHTML line, it looks the same in Firefox as in IE6.  I don't know why IE6
does this or how to work around.  I wonder if this is related to the inline getVisible bug.
