Sounds good Raymond. I like the idea of size saving.
I've not done any dynapi in a while.
Any ASP.NET? tutorials to help us unix peeps.

Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since I've worked on the DynAPI core or widgets mainly because of other personal endeavors. But I since recently started looking back at the core and what I've found out that DynAPI keeps getting bigger and bigger with the addition of ns4 fixes, and other stuff.
Some time ago I wanted to add some dynamic to a web app I was working on when I realized that DynAPI took up over 40k just to get me to move a simple layer! That was not good for the little web app.
After searching and looking for an alternative library but I gave up and decided that it was time to create something new. Something that was as powerful as DynAPI and yet very small, fast and easy to use and supports modern browsers. NS4 support will limitted.
The Web Application Framework ================================= It's pretty much a combination of DynAPI and the easy and flexibility of ASP.Net. I've liked the way how ASP.Net event driven architure worked so I tried to make it as simple as I could.
For example:
To simply display a message when the page load all you have to do is:
<script src="../core/webelm.js"></script> <script> document.setIncludePath("../core/"); function document_onload(){ alert("Hi There, I'm fully loaded!"); } </script>
Notice that the document object now becomes the core object in this framework. The idea is that this framework with try to make use of or simulate as much DOM+DynAPI functionality as best as possible. E.g. the getElementById() function will be available in ns4, ie4+, ns6, etc.
The beauty about this framework is that it's closely
tied to inline elements.
Example: A blink a inline div element
<script src="../core/webapi.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script> <script> document.setIncludePath("../core/");
var dx;
function document_onload(){ dx = new WebElement("dx"); setInterval("blink()",400) }
function blink(){ dx.setBgColor("yellow"); dx.setVisible(!dx.getVisible()); } </script> .... <div id="dx" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden">Web Application Framework</div>
The framework is still work in progress. It's not yet as powerful as DynAPI but it can certainly be used to add some dyamic effects to a website. The entire framework loads in under 20k (uncompressed).
Would surely like to hear your views comment, etc.
Best regards,
