Re: [Dynapi-Dev] DynAPI "require" method?

[Brandon M. <bnd...@ho...>]

Ohh.. boy.. here we go again on this subject. This has been a big issue..
and that there are problems when including external javascript after a
certain level deep. What is the max level? I don't know. I just know that
there have been problems doing this. And the widgets would have to not
require anything in those external files untill AFTER the onLoad event. I
know this much from experience.

I do, however, rely on this method to allow external JS files to specify
what files are in each browser specific library.
