Next generation ???
Would it not be a good idea to get the DynApi2 working in all browsers
(basic methods, moveTo, event handlers etc; not wigits, IMO they take a
backseat to basic functionality) before even discussing another generation
of the API.
I haven't contributed anything in months (which is beyond my control) so
feel quite apprehensive about posting this but again, IMO, it makes common
sense to get the basic's of this project crossbrowser (NN6 included) and bug
free before launching into another generation of the API.
Flame away !!!!
