[Dynapi-Help] Dynamic Height and Child Layers

[Matthew S. <PK...@Tu...>]

Hey all,

I have seen this question asked a few times in one form or another but I
have yet to see any kind of answer.  Even a "that's not possible" answer
would be preferable to nothing at all.  I am creating a DynLayer then using
setHtml() to set it's contents.  This works perfectly on the windows
platform.  On the Mac it is a different story.  First trying to create a
DynLayer and omitting the size generated an error.  There was a patch posted
that fixed the error but did not actually fix the problem.  Now if you omit
the size and then set the html it looks like the size is effectively 0.  It
does not adjust to fit the content on the Mac like it does on the PC
browsers.  I want to know if anyone has a workaround other than using inline
layers for this problem.  Currently I am using inline layers but this opens
up a whole other category of problems for me.

My second problem, once again on the mac, has to do with layers inside of
layers.  If I create two DynLayers and add the second to the first as a
child then add the first to the document I get very strange rendering
errors.  For example if the second layer contains text, the text is repeated
where it is supposed to be, then duplicated at the origin of the parent
layer, and then duplicated again at the origin of the parent document.  This
one is really weird and I don't really anticipate an answer.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew
