RE: [Dynapi-Help] Events and setHTML.

hello kit, 
 
i've been facing the same problem and the only quick solution i found, 
is to set some space around the text by
 
    dynlayer.setPadding(1)
 
and using the mouseover-event. 1 pixel is aleady enough.
 
hope it helps

Hails! 

I've got an interesting problem/question. 

I'm using setHTML on a DynLayer and then adding an EventListener to it.  I
discovered that on the sections that were affected by the setHTML (i.e. the
parts where the HTML shows up) do not respond to the listener.  I have an
onmouseover and an onmouseout.  They aren't triggered while they are in the
colored section of the layer however when I wander out of them and into the
rest of the layer -- that is when they get executed.

The way that I tested this was I had the layer double-sized (lengthwise) the
mouseover dosn't happen when I enter it from the top or bottom (because that
entire side is covered by the setHTML'd parts) but the sides, which are
BRIGHT YELLOW (so that I know where the layer is at) do trigger the Event
when I move the mouse into them.

Anything that I'm doing wrong with this? 

What I really wanted to do was have the layer vanish when the mouse exited
the DynLayer.  I only added the onmouseover to see if the Events were being
triggered at all.

Much appreciated, 
Kyt.
