It sound very interesting indeed Alexey... then you can also create new js
for newer browsers whithout any need to touch other js (just like dlls or
device drivers, you'll load what you need); it will allow you to reduce the
amount of code that the client most download and most important than that is
the fact that this code will be really very optimised. However this has an
important drawback that we most consider:

Doing this means an extra work in trying to maintain standardized all the
APIS for diferent platforms and diferent browsers, id est, if we add
something to an API we must add the same functionality to all other; and not
just that, separating everything so you can then optimize a lot, could make
easy a loss of control in what is disponible for what platform.

Im sure we don't want a DynAPI that says: "this is disponible only for NS"
or vice versa, then we most work a lot to keep things in the right path.

Any opinions or sugestions about this matter?, there is a lot of advantages
and drawbacks in a schema like this...

 But isn't it better to use optimised versions for the brouser, not
 the one for all?

  So main "dynapi" whould be a selector of "dynlayer_ns4.js"
or "dynlayer_ie4.js" but keeping same API?

	I thinks using "new Layer" in NN4 is better then creating
 lots of CSS and <div>-s (memory usage and resistance to Resize):

	http://deep.kiev.ua/JS/WebGram/ - resize resistant without
 any reloads.

ps. last one i need to make site as one page , with changed layers
	Same as www.htmlguru.com is.
