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

[Cameron H. <ca...@bi...>]

Ummm, I haven't tried tweaking the loadpanel source just yet. I might be
using an older version of the loadpanel which doesn't support what you are
saying, the version date is 2000.11.09.

I've done what you suggested for Netscape and it works kind of :-)

This is my new code:

LoadPanel.prototype.loadHandler = function(url) {
	this.url = url
	if (is.ns4) {
		if (this.isILayer) {
			var w = this.loadElement.document.width
			var h = this.loadElement.document.height
		}
		else {
			var w = this.getContentWidth()
			var h = this.getContentHeight()
		}
		for (var i in this.loadElement.document.links) {
			this.loadElement.document.links[i].loadpanel = this;
		}
		if (this.autoW) this.setWidth(w,false)
		if (this.autoH) this.setHeight(h,false)
	}
	this.isReloading = false
	this.invokeEvent('load')
}

Now I have a new problem - when I call set URL, the URL is getting garbled
somewhere. Any ideas what is happening there? It seems to get to the setURL
method intact, but I haven't looked into it any further than that.

I think it would be good to keep the behaviour consistent between browsers,
so I thought I would try and do the same thing for links with IE. However,
I'm using IE5, which doesn't use IFRAMES, it uses a DIV with a style to load
the new document. I don't seem to be able to get to the links object in the
same way with IE5. Don't know about IE4, I don't have it.

Do you have any ideas on how I can do the same for IE4 and IE5, and should I
upgrade to a newer LoadPanel?

Thanks!!!

Cam.
