RE: [Dynapi-Help] getHeight() not working in ns 6

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I have run into a similar problem, I found that if I specify all of the
attributes of the DynLayer when instantiated that it works fine on Mac IE
4.5 and 5.  Don't even try IE 4.  The DHTML Support of Mac IE 4 is
practically non-existant.  So you would have to use the full constructor.

pblayer0 = new DynLayer(10, 10, 300, 200, '#f0f0f0');

This would create the layer without errors but I see that you are trying the
same thing I was.  Setting the content then GETTING the height.  I found
that this could not be done on the Mac without the error you are referring
to. I hope that pointing out that everything works fine if you specify
everything on the Mac will help the developers find the problem.

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] getHeight() not working in ns 6

Hi all,

This little piece of code works fine on everything but
IE4+ on Mac and Netscape 6... getWidth() and getHeight()
seems to be the problem in both cases.
As I'm quite new to the DynAPI I'm very interested in any
comments on my way of using it that may cause this problem.

This code even works in Netscape 4.05, the browser of horror =)
