Hi,
There's an example of an image rollover inside a layer here, if that's what
you mean:
http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/Richard_Examples/Image_Rollover2.html
If you(re having trouble with my site, browse all the examples here, no
script :o)
http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/php/examples.html
There's quite a bit of documentation at the Dynapi site, but it was hacked
last week, and is down for repair (temp Sourceforge site is up).
It included a documentation system that could be updated by the users
themselves.
I don't really consider DynAPI2 to be better than DynAPI1 for *all* needs,
it's a shame DynAPI1 hasn't been maintained to work for newer browsers, if
someone has done this, I'd love to host it as an alternative.
The main difference is in DynAPI1, you defined the objects you needed, and
showed or hid them as needed, in DynAPI2, you can create objects when you
need them, build them into complex objects, basically the browser memory is
your only limit. + it forces you to learn javascript to the bone.
But I still use simple tools, like the 1kAPI, if it's a more or less static
page .
Anyway, if you have time to help on improving examples, or documentation,
it's always appreciated.
Cheers,
Richard Bennett
