Hi,
I am actually quite surprised about everyone complaining about a lack of
docs.
If you first read Dan's Dynduo tutorial here:
http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/
and then visit the docs center here:
http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/doccenter/index.php?DynAPITutorials
+ the help center and other sections.
I would have thought that was pretty good.
I gave the widget tutorial a quick look over, and yes, there are one or two
errors. For people using Dynapi these are rather mundane, ../js instead of
../src and things like that. I guess it might be confusing to new users
though.
For those who want it, I attached the working version of the widget to this
email and corrected the errors in the tutorial. (just the widget section)
I changed this:
this.superClass=DynLayer
this.superClass(id,x,y,w,h)
to this:
this.dynlayer=DynLayer
this.dynlayer(id,x,y,w,h)
Either way will work, it's just a variable, but the second is more in line
with current widgets.
Also,
button.listener.onprecreate=function(e) {
would also work like this:
button.listener.oncreate=function(e) {
but the first one is preferred, as it should offer better performance.
If errors are found, or things are not working, you can correct the docs
yourself (click edit page at the bottom) or post the corrections here if you
are not sure.
Cheers,
Richard.

BTW, there are quite a few people correcting, and adding documentation, nice
to see!
