Hmmm... maybe not! converting a layer to a loadpanel will 1) add bloated code to DynLayer.prototype that will be used by using in only a few cases. Would anyone have need for 10 loadpanels? IMO I think LoadPanel/LoadLayer should be a widget. In this way we can easily extend the features without having to add mode code to DynLayer.prototype which would affect off DynLayers.

It can to be used for receiving raw html, but with LoadPanel around this feature would be redundant. > I agree, both are different for our usage, although > usually in HTML, > when you send a request. get or post, you get some > other html back ! At new feature that is on my list of to-do (originally Dan' idea) is to add an http-proxy server. This will allow users to download and upload text/html content and display them inside an ordinary dynlayer (using setHTML) if they so chooses. They could also use it to upload xml documents as well. Http-proxy will be used along with IOElement. -- Raymond Irving __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
