Hey all,
New problem. Actually I think it's an old problem but I have not seen a
solution yet. getHeight and getWidth. How do you make them work on NS 6
and IE 5(Mac) ?
Here's the code segment I am using:
c = new DynLayer();
c.moveTo(100, 100);
c.setBgColor('#c0c0c0');
c.setHTML("Testing!");
w = c.getWidth();
h = c.getHeight();
alert("Before Add: " + w + ", " + h);
DynAPI.document.addChild(c);
w = c.getWidth();
h = c.getHeight();
alert("After Add: " + w + ", " + h);
and here is what I get:
IE 4.0 PC:
Before: null, null
After: 48, 19
IE 5.0 PC:
Before: null, null
After: 48, 19
IE 5.5 PC:
Before: null, null
After: 48, 19
NS 4.75 PC:
Before: null, null
After: 48, 19
NS 6 PC&Mac
Before: null, null
After: 0, 0
IE 5 Mac
Before: null, null
After: 0, 0
I can live with getting the values after addChild. Means doing things a
little weird but I can do it. My problem is that the last two report 0s.
This is not good. I only need one of two things to make DynAPI usable to my
department. I need to be able to return the size sometime after setHTML()
or I need to be able to use Inline layers on the platforms listed above.
Both would make extremely happy. 95% of my content is dynamically pulled
from a database so I have no idea what the sizes are. Currently both of the
methods that I could use to solve this problem don't work on all of the
platforms I need to support. My main two browser problems are NS 6 and IE
5(Mac). Inline layers work on IE 5(Mac) but not NS 6. Returning the size
after setHTML() fails on both. If anyone has workarounds/fixes to these
problems, please let us know.

PS.
I have been going through the codebase line by line and I simply do not find
some of the parts that I am looking for. I still have not found where
DynAPI.document.all has been defined. Any information on the inner workings
of the API would be greatly appreciated. Some kind of object diagram would
simply make us glow. I am trying to construct one now to help make some
sense of this thing. Any information on the structure of DynAPI and/or the
order of execution during initialization would be most helpful.
