Hi, My system is Linux Zoot (6.2), with Netscape 4.72 running on it, I have the 11/07/2000 build of the dynapi. I'm working through the tutorial on the dynapi 2 and I'm finding erratic behavior. For one thing I find that examples on dragging work one day and not the next (giving an error in the dynapi.js of: JavaScript Error: file:/home/DShriver/DHTML_INFO/dyn2_11_07_2000/dynapi/js/dynapi.js, line 92: group is not defined. JavaScript Error: file:/home/DShriver/DHTML_INFO/dyn2_11_07_2000/dynapi/js/dynapi.js, line 45: DynDocument is not defined. ) The code looks reasonable and it looks like the variables should be defined (there are statements setting them up, so I could only see them being undefined if their building blocks were null) and I have not touched the API. Also the previous day I got as far as the widget tutorial and found that when I tried open the widget page in my browser it killed the browser (I repeated this behavior many times, even after a fresh rebooting). Is there some strange issue with the API not working quite right on Linux or with 4.72, or both? Or did I set things up incorrectly. Also is there some good DHTML ref for building "widgets" out there. All I want (right now) out of DHTML is scrollable windows. I've done a LOT of surfing to find them and have found numerous toolkits but they all seem to have one or more of the following flaws: -big gaps in browser cross compatability -buggy (some of them just don't work right, some have problems that can be fixed by me refreshing the page but I view this as unacceptable to the end user, ...). I probably will not want anything else for quite some time and when I do it will most likely be some other vanilla content navigation tool. The big goal for me is solid browser cross compatablity. It would be acceptable for the tools to only work with IE4 (and beyond), and NS4 (and beyond) on various OS's and boxes. Ideally I'd like to work with some toolkit that does all the "magic" for me (branching around different DOM's and browser flaws) leaving me to deal with only logic and presentation issues. _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/dynapi-help
