RE: [Dynapi-Help] events.js

[<abe...@al...>]

relative to the management of keystrokes events in events.js
------------------------------------------------------------
ok for now im doing little changes to event.js:

i'd changed the captureMouseEvents

DynLayer.prototype.captureMouseEvents=function() {
	if (!this.eventListeners) this.eventListeners=[]
	this.hasEventListeners=true
	if (!this.created) return false
	var elm=this.elm

      //--******--
	if (is.ns4) elm.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN | Event.MOUSEDOWN |
		Event.MOUSEUP | Event.CLICK | Event.DBLCLICK)
	elm.onkeypress=elm.onfocus=elm.onblur=elm.onmousedown=elm.onmouseup=
	elm.onmouseover=elm.onmouseout=elm.onclick=elm.ondblclick=
	DynLayer.prototype.EventMethod
      //--******--

	if (is.ie5) this.elm.oncontextmenu=function() {return false}
}

it seems to work correctly in IE. However, on netscape (4.7) the onkeypress
event never arises an the use of alert() inside the onfocus event handler
causes an infinite loop  :b

Another problem that remains (in both browsers) is: The only way in which
focus is triggered is thru a click, it is not possible to arise this event
with the use of tab -> tab -> tab keys.

however i think this will do the job:

<a href="#" onclick="return false;" onfocus="document...layer.focus();">
  <div id="layer" ...>
</a>

but looking at the DynLayer.createElement method, i just can't figure out
how to put an <a> tag working in conjunction with the element being created
without afecting the behavior of those DynLayers who don't need this
anchor... Is it posible to overwrite the createElement method in a derived
class? i thougt so... im trying it right now.

Any suggestions, thanks!

Yeah, but that's pretty old, though :-)
You can probably hack it for your own purposes, though.

To the issue of DynLayers having "focus"...you can simulate that by
creating a focus manager object.  A focus manager has an array that
holds DynLayers you assign to it to manage.  Then, all you have to do is
decide what user actions give a DynLayer focus.  For example, you can
assign a mousedown eventlistener to a DynLayer that invokes a focus
event on the DynLayer. Invoking focus on a DynLayer acitvates the focus
manager.

The focus manager first checks it's array of DynLayers to make sure it's
responsible for the one that was clicked on, then assigns that layer to
the "currently focused item" property.  So if you want to know which
DynLayer has focus, you just get it from the focus manager, something
like "FocusManager.currentItem" or something.

Okay, somebody build it.
