thanks, but...
nay :)
take a look at a piece of code:
myLayer.setHTML('<a href="#" '
+'onmouseover=pic.src="../php/images/round2.gif"; '
+'onmouseout=pic.src="../php/images/round1.gif";>'
+'<img src="../php/images/round1.gif" name="pic" border=0></a>')
that's definitely NOT the best way to do it. all i actually want is to
set up the following construction:
<div name="blahblah">
<a href="#" onmouseover="do_rollover()" onmouseout="do_rollout()"><img
src="moo.gif"></a>
</div>
in the sample code above i can 1) init the <div> as a dynlayer and 2)
do not init it and PRESERVE the actual layout. your source code does
not allow to preserve the layout. that's a major drawback if i want to
do some nondestructive changes. besides, i cannot share that code with
non-dynapi users - to edit a particular image properties or the image
itself, and so on and so forth... any idea how to craft my code style
in dynapi 2 ?

well complex objects is definitely not an option.
i'm developing a php4/mysql site at the moment, with some javascript

well at this point i'm simply puzzled and a bit dizzy about weird and
complicated ways of dynapi 2 :) why SO MUCH fuzz about image rollover
- initializing 1 (one) layer in dynapi 1 was more than sufficient,
while in your example i see monstrous manipulations :) nothing
personal, but it just is :)
cheers.
