Thank you, I'll try this out. Is this a fix that would be worked into
the API? Has it been reviewed by any of the codemiesters?

you are wrong!!
check out the following:
(btw: i already posted this a few days ago, but nobody noticed
it, so i'm
posting it again. i would be pleased to see some comments this
time.)
ie5/mac:
this browser needs some time to update the
scrollWidth/Height-values, so i
store the old values of the contentSize and then call a function
that loops
with a timeout until the values have changed (or a maximum of
retries is
reached). the 'onload'-event isn't invoked until that moment.
this means
that everything that needs the size of the content has to wait
for the
'onload'-event to be invoked.
ns5:
i found that elm.scrollWidth and elm.scrollHeight in ns5 contain
the correct
values if elm.style.width/height is set to 'auto', so what i did
in
Dynlayer.prototype.getContentWidth() is setting the
elm.style.width to
'auto', retrive the scrollWidth, and then changing the value of
elm.style.width again to the original value. this causes a short
flickering,
because when set to 'auto', ns5 adjust the size of the layer to
the
contentSize, but at least i get the correct size of the content.
since the setHTML() method of a DynLayer is the only place where
the size of
the content can be changed there's no need for accessing the
browsers object
every time the contentsize is needed, so i introduced two new
properties to
the DynLayer: contentW and contentH (they are updated every time
setHTML()
is called)
i made a demonstration page available on the web:
http://n.ethz.ch/student/mibuerge/dynapi/examples/contentsize.htm
the pieces of code i changed in "dynlayer.js":
