Hi, It seems it was a timing issue. When I moved the DynDocument creation statement(s) away from "DynAPI.onLoad" to the event triggered show/hide routine, it worked.
However, I seem to have stumbled on another similar, yet completely different, issue: When the framed page (A) - the one that owns the DynLayer in the other frame - triggers an update of the other frame (B), the content of B is momentarily invalidated. If the user triggers the show/hide routine in A, this generates an error since B is currently invalid and of course thus doesn't support DynAPI functions. As soon as frame B is un-invalidated (the HTML is read and JS libraries loaded), everything works great. I've tracked it to an unconditional "alert" in "DynAPIObject.prototype.errorHandler" in "js\dynapi.js". For testing purposes I've commented this statement out, and disabled script error from popping up in IE, and this seems to do the trick. However, that will in effect turn off any error message, making valid errors very hard to track. And this "hack" is definitely not pretty. Is there another way to handle errors more sensible ? Or how about introducing (persistant) error levels, and enabling setting these on/off. Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
