RE: [Dynapi-Dev] [ dynapi-Bugs-409730 ] LoadPanel

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

This particular issue is addressed in the DynAPI helpsheet which is under
documentation on the official DynAPI site. I'm not sure how we can make the
documentation clearer, it is there if you look for it. Perhaps we should
link to the help sheet from the FAQ (if there isn't a link already).

Although the information on running scripts in LoadPanel that is in the
helpsheet isn't entirely accurate, I'll hopefully update it sometime, also
noticed the admin interface has munged the formatting again - doh.

It is possible to use inline javascript in a loadpanel in IE. The script
must be in the body of the document, as IE ignores everything outside the
body tags. The script tags must include the defer parameter. Although this
works, Netscape and IE use a different namespace for scrips defined in this
fashion, which makes them difficult to use.

Sure, we could put more obvious "You can find more info here" bits on the
homepage, or perhaps restructure the documentation. I believe there are
links to the FAQ, tutorials, and mailing list archives for the homepage
already, maybe they aren't obvious enough.
