Re: [Dynapi-Help] html links inside loadpanel documents

[Dan S. <dy...@fu...>]

You will need a reference to the loadpanel.  In Netscape you might be able to use this:

<a href="javascript://" onclick="this.lyrobj.setURL('file.html')">

"this" in the content of a layer refers to the layer element.  We have a .lyrobj property that points to the DynLayer (or DynLayer based widget).  I can't remember if "this" inside a link returns the link or the document/layer.  If it returns the link we'd need to update LoadPanel to search through all the links in the page and drop a property like ".loadpanel" onto each link object so the could be made like "this.loadpanel.setURL()".

For IE if you are using an IFrame you will need to have a different reference.  We can add some code into LoadPanel to make one.  "this" in an Iframe should refer to the frame element (or possibly the frame's document), so you'd add "frame.lyrobj = this" or "frame.document.lyrobj = this" somewhere in the LoadPanel code after the frame has been created.  Or again it might be necessary to manually attach a property to each link.

It would just require some tweaking but it's definately possible.
