Re: [Dynapi-Help] onLoad handler for setHTML command?

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

You probably don't need a handler at all for this, I'm fairly certain that the JavaScript engine will not continue anything else until the doc.write() is complete (for netscape), and once the innerHTML happens almost immediately in IE.

Are you having problems with not being able to reference an element inside the layer after a setHTML() ?  If the problem is only occuring in Netscape, you could manually assign a layer.onload handler, it is also fired when you do a document.write().

PS: you have no idea - I'm sometimes haunted in my dreams by bits of JavaScript code that are causing me problems during the day :)
