Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] "Menu" list.js widget fixes

[Alan M. <amu...@ra...>]

A style object is a good idea, but I am not advanced enough in DynAPI to 
undertake something so generic.
In the meantime, does it make sense to add my changes to the snapshot to 
make the widget more useful?

Nicola pointed out that my menu list fails in NS6.  (Thanks Nicola!)  I 
caught your  message...

Who? When?

I was just looking at this problem because Nicola suggested it is why the 
"menu" list is not working correctly in NS 6.
With some debugging, I can say that Nicola is correct.  The 
setContentHeight() method does not work in label.js

Is someone working on this problem?
Also, Robert, I sent a new version of list.js to the widgetdev list.  Did 
you see it?

Thanks, Alan
