Hi,
It all depends what you want to load in the window:
If you simply want to display information, not containing script or links,
you can do setHTML on the windowCanvas, or use a loadpanel widget, There are
several examples of this here:
http://www.resass.f2s.com/?menu=examples&node=9

if you need to load external content containing links and script, you can
use a Iframe in a skinwindow, for IE, and an Ilayer for NS.
I have an example of this for IE only, but it's very experimental,
*unfinished work*:
http://www.resass.f2s.com/dynapi/testcase/skinframewindow.htm

In these examples the skinwindow is resizable by dragging bottom right
corner, maximizeable, minimizeable, closeable.etc.

Cheers,
Richard Bennett

> Hello All,

>    My Name is Cheston Unnewehr, and I have recently been researching new
ways of making websites more appealing and user-friendly.  In this quest,
I've ran across the DynAPI-2 librayr, and so far, I'm very impressed.
>    I am familiar with Dan Steinman's DynAPI-1, and was most impressed with
the ability to make "windows" in the browser.  I am currently working on a
dynamic window system for the website I am currently Webmastering.  I would
like to know if there are any ways of incorperating a scroll box, or an
IFRAME within the DynAPI-2's DynLayer.  The box should be able to resize
on-the-fly, since it is being used to create a sort-of "browser in browser"
window, similar to that used at Desktop.com.  If anyone has any information
on how I can achieve this, email me at:
