By default 0 is value used for x,y whenever they are set to null.

One way to get relative position is to use
setAnchor(). See
dynapi.api.dynlayer-anchor-anchoring.html for some
information.

The other thing is to create a setPosition() function
that will allow a user to set the position of the
layer inside the document. Or we could simple cause
the DynLayer to not set left/top values if x/y is
null.

Options:
---------
1) Create a setPosition() function
I've needed to have DynLayers with a postion set to Fixed in dynapi2, so this would solve it. Netscape 4 doesn't support it, but we could simulate it by listening to onscroll to maintain the position.

2) Cause DynLayer to not set left/top values if x/y is
null - results to a relative layer.
If you were to call setPosition('relative'), then it wouldn't be needed to try to guess what top/left should be, whatever x/y would be.

Which option is more suited for this kind of functionality?

Hello everyone,

I may have lost the plot. But I thought if you
specified a DynLayer with
x=null,y=null it was given a "position:relative" in
the layer/div inline style?
This may have been something dropped from dynapi2.

I was hoping to do:
<body>
<h1>Heading A</h1>
Some html.
<script> dynapi.document.insertChikl(a) </script>
<h2>Heading B</h2>
Some more html.
<script> dynapi.document.insertChikl(b) </script>
Lots more html.
</body>

Children a and b would be relative positioned
containers with their own
absolute positioned DynLayer children and so
constructing a widget.
Then these widgets/components would flow normally in
the page.

Is this possible. Or does everything have to be
absolutely positioned on
a page and so no real inline html? Any help with the
correct usage of
dynapi3x within an html page would be appreciated.

Kevin.
