assignElement...
is this a replacment for findLayers in the inline.js extension?
If so, it's about time..
I've already modified my copy of findLayers to index only those inline
layers which had not been made into DynLayers yet..
IE; so I can call findLayers more than once.. But I found that even then,
there was a LOT of CPU time spent whenever I
wanted to get any new inline layers (those written dynamically as HTML after
the initial rendering of the page)
the CPU jumped to 100% and actually 'blocked' (prevented from use) the
application for 2 - 10 seconds
depending on the computeer it was running on.
A method which allows you to a a specific HTML layer to the DynAPI object
model would be kickass..
please tell me this is the case..
