I don't think it'll break any widgets (but they'll have to be updated anyway). Almost
every time the first argument is set to null or ''. And in fact widgets should never
set the ID manually. I don't believe I've ever explicitly called setID() on any
dynlayer since I originally wrote the first create system for DynAPI2.
I'd prefer to have at least the 6 most often used arguments static:
DynLayer(html,x,y,w,h,color)
We used to have a setStyle() method that worked the way you're suggesting. But I
never used it. It breaks consistancy by making two different ways to do the same
thing. I'd like to get away from having the constructor of DynLayer be a "kitchen
sink" like is in the current version.
My version will be released as v2.6 on sourceforge, either as a drop in replacement
for 2.5x or as a fork. I may release a 2.6beta on my own before it's integrated into
CVS.

Dan Steinman
