But what about layers that don't use anchors ?
What's wrong with
invokeEvent("resize") in setSize ? Performance ?
I've never seen it a
problem in my usage.
See previous email.

...The loadlayer uses a single queue to load, and
I've
added the ability
to pass a queue object. That serialize the loads if
multiple layers are
sent setURL, exxept if you pass a custom queue. I'm
not sure that's a
benefit or not ?
However, that code check the conclusion of the load
in a cleaner way,
using events provided by the browsers, and I think
that's missing from
the current loadpanel.
It look good, but could we consolidate our efforts to
create a very good loadpanel/loadlayer widget? The
IOElement allows for client-server communications. It
too can be used for loading html pages, but with
loadpanel/layer around I think I'll make it only
support invisible threads. Juho, Dan and Benoit have
come up with variants of the loadpanel. Could we
combine our findinds and make one load widget that
works well?
We sure should !
I have a question. Why is IOElement using java at all ? I'd rather 
stick to javascript only. In dom browsers and latest IEs, you have 
access to DOM objects to do http request without using java.

So let's build the feature set we want, and see from where we start.

- be able to call setURL() on dynlayers with accurate onload  sent when 
all content is back. Be able to pass user info along the url that will 
be available in the onload event.
- be able to coalesce multiple setURLs too close together to avoid 
going each time to the server, but just honor the last one of a "too 
close" list of calls.  (I have a version of a queue object that does 
this)
- be able to send get/posts
-be able to receive html and javascript code
- randomize url to avoid caching

... please add to the list

Here it is.


ATTACHMENT part 2 application/octet-stream
x-mac-hide-extension=yes; x-unix-mode=0644;
name=loadlayer.js
I removed the js extension as it caused the mail to
be bounced back.
Please have a look. Sorry, there's a lot of
commented code, it's a
working copy.

I've been thinking. (I know.. very dangerous)

These events don't seem to be in the api:
onresize
onload
I have been trying to add an onload event but I
don't actually know where to even start.
It really has been too long since I've done any
hard-code JS coding..
Kinda depressing actually.
In NS 4 the layer object has a load event which
is
fired when the content is changed (including when
the layer is first rendered.)
IN IE we should be able to use the
readystatechange
event to detect content changes in a div
when this event is called you can then check the
property: readyState which can have the following
values:
(you would check the numeric values)
-LOADING (1) The load is in progress-reading
persisted properties, but not yet parsing data.
For
readyState definitions, data should be considered
equivalent to binary large object (BLOB)
properties.
-LOADED (2) Reading of the persisted properties
completed-reading and parsing data, but the
object
model is not yet available.

-INTERACTIVE (3) Some data has been read and
parsed,
and the object model is now available on the
partially retrieved data set. Although the object
model is available during this state, it is
read-only.
-COMPLETED (4) The document has been completely
loaded, successfully or unsuccessfully.
I have not yet figured out how to do a resize
event
without putting and invokeEvent in setSize();
