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

[Jack_Speranza <jsp...@gr...>]

Hi Scott (and all)  --
	Thanks for responding (thanks to Robert, too!)... After reading your
messages I (once again) opened up the dynapi.js file to make sure I hadn't
overlooked the getDocument method.  It's NOT there!  I've also looked in the
other api files (Dynlayer.js, Dyndocument.js, etc.) to make sure it wasn't
in one of the library files.  Alas, it's just not to be found (I suspect it
wasn't in my previous version, though I haven't opened up the old library to
look).  I'm working on a project that's deliverable on Monday.  I'd like to
use the new release, as I suspect it cleans up a lot of relatively "minor"
problems I was encountering (dragging layers was a little buggy, memory
leaks, etc.).  Is there another source for the more recent dynapi.js file
that I can download? (like Il Maestro's site or Pascal's?)  Thanks for
getting back to me...

Jack

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.
