Re: [Dynapi-Help] New DynAPI release and DynDocument Events

[Scott A. L. <sc...@sc...>]

Hi Jack, welcome to the list.

Hm, the getDocument method should be part of the DynAPI object in
dynapi.js and if yours is missing, then there's something seriously
wrong with the distribution.

Another bug may be this:

DynAPI.getDocument(realsrc.elm)

I don't know who put this in, but doesn't getDocument require an ID, not
an object?

Maybe it should be:

DynAPI.getDocument(realsrc.elm.id)

I'd like to hear what the list thinks.
