[Dynapi-Widgetdev] Working hard, need a helping hand...

[<ma...@ir...>]

Hi DynAPI/WidgetDev,

I hope I am adressing the right mailing list for this purpose, I just joined
it :-)

I'm currently doing a homepage for one of my collegues mother, who is a
textile-designer/artist. I wanted to make a fully interactive page that
incorporates many of the features from the DynAPI, to make the actual
browsing an exciting and interesting experience.

See the working demo here:
http://www.irisworks.dk/studsgarth/template.vaerk.asp

I am NOT asking you to "deconstruct" the entire sourcecode of this page, but
just to help me with a few questions that I have:

1: The comment/info (pushpanel) to the right does not automatically resize,
although it has a "repack()" function attached. Only when clicked TWICE does
the
panel resize???

2: Is there a way to suppress the page until the graphics used inside
widgets
such as the scrollpanel are fully done loading?? Right now it shows whenever
the
GetImage() statements are done, should I add the arrows/scrollbars/etc. to
my list
of GetImage() statements, and would that mean that I would have to change
the source
code of the involved widgets? (Maybe we should consider a standardized way
to "skin"
our widgets then)

3: In Netscape (4.5) - a DynImage (GIF with transparency) on top of a HTML
page with a
background picture becomes fully opaque. You would have to load the picture
for
background as (another) DynImage, and position it on top of the HTML page (I
have
disabled this right now in the example, it only loads a single picture)

That's it! I hope somebody will be able to answer one or more of these
questions, as I
have only a beginning/learning understanding of the DynAPI methods...

Thanks in advance!!!
