I'm also of the opinion that it should be a native
function.

Yes. A layer (not a DynLayer) will be used to store
the HTML content. In DOM browsers I was looking at
using a <table> object, but I think I might use a
<div>. And for NS4 I'll use a <layer>
I'm also looking at adding a two new features to the
dynapi.document object. These are as follows:
dynapi.document.writeln(html,key) and
dynapi.document.deleteln(key)
These will allow a user to write/append html content
to the document even after the page has been loaded.
The deleteln(key) will also the user to delete html
content from the document once the page is loaded.
These two new functions will enable us to dynamically
download (inline) portions of a huge app, append the
content to the document and then create the object use
blueprint/inline create features.
What do you all thing?
