[Dynapi-Dev] small DynAPI-util: console

[martin s. <ma...@ab...>]

i've been using a js-console for a while and
found it useful so i thought i'll ported it to DynAPI
and share it with you.

with the console you get a small popup-window
to which you are able to write variables, messages
and so on. very usefull instead of those alert's

put the console.js in dynapi/util/=20

methods:=20

DynAPI.console.open()
opens the console-window

DynAPI.console.write(msg)
writes msg to the console
if the console isn't opened, this will be done for you.
internet explorer will also scroll to the bottom of the console=20
where the newest messages are, couldn't found out how
you do this in netscape

DynAPI.console.close()
closes the console-window

DynAPI.console.enable()
enables the console

DynAPI.console.disable()
disables the console (the console wont open or be written to)

DynAPI.console.clear()
clears the console window


example:

DynAPI.setLibraryPath('dynapi/src/lib')
DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*')
DynAPI.include('dynapi.util.console')

DynAPI.onLoad=3Dfunction() {
    layer =3D new DynLayer(null,40,10,25,50,'red');
    DynAPI.document.addChild(layer);

    DynAPI.console.write(layer.toString());
    DynAPI.console.write('position: '+layer.x+'x'+layer.y);
    DynAPI.console.write('size: '+layer.w+'x'+layer.h);
};

(leave the console open when you reload the
page, then the console-window's position and
size will remain)

cheers
