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

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

The DynAPI does it different.  Maybe things have changed since the days
when this worked, or maybe never worked, I dunno.

api/dynlayer_base.js; 210-216

p.setVisible = function(b) { //! Overwritten by NS4
 //if (b!=this.visible) {
  this.visible = b;
  if (this.css) this.css.visibility = b? "inherit" : "hidden";
 //}
};

api/dynlayer_ns4.js; 209-214

p.setVisible = function(b) {
 if (b!=this.visible) {
  this.visible = b;
  if (this.css) this.css.visibility = b? "inherit" : "hide";
 }
};

Perhaps it would help to toggle both the display (none, 'previous') and
visibility (hidden, visible, or 'previous' for the non-standard CSS)
properties, if they exist.  If these differ for each browser now, maybe
we can just add browser specific versions to each browser specific file
(_ie, _ns4, _dom or new _mozilla, _opera, _etc. if needed).

About the 1px IE problem, I don't know how ugly this is, but is there
ever a condition where a layer does in fact have a zero height?  For IE,
maybe we could just create a dummy blank layer, and use it whenever we
need or want size zero.  Otherwise, as suggested, we don't fix but just
plan the design work accordingly, and have a note to this effect in the
docs and example page.  I don't like that option so much, but well
there's only so much you can do sometimes when a browser doesn't do what
you hoped.
