Hi all,

This DynAPI still amazes people I show this to!  There is a little
problem that we have been encountering with the forms... this is sort of
related to the post "Help of Forms" but it adds another layer of
complexity I believe and I guess knowing if it can be done will probably
help us figure out whether it's worth it to keep going along our path...

When using the loadpanel.js to load another page into a scroll pane (for
example).... how do you call the <form> inside this "external file"...
The idea is to have a button on the calling page to submit the form
inside the scroll pane.... 

===================
scrollpane.htm 

<html>
<head>
...
<script language="JavaScript">
DynAPI.onLoad = function() {
        MetalScrollPaneURL =
DynAPI.librarypath+"/dynapi/images/scrollpane/"
        
        lp = new LoadPanel();
        lp.setSize(350,250); // height will be overwritten by default
        lp.moveTo(10,10);

        counter = 0;
        var el = new EventListener()
        el.onload = function(e) {
                status = 'got load event '+ counter++;
        }
        lp.addEventListener(el) 
        
        scrollobj = new ScrollPane(lp)  // lp will be set as the content
        scrollobj.setSize(350,250)
        scrollobj.moveTo(250,50)
        scrollobj.setBgColor('#c0c0c0')

        DynAPI.document.addChild(scrollobj)

        // set the URL for the lp after the main scroll object is added
to the document
        lp.setURL("form.htm");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="scrollform">
<!---------------- BUTTON TO SUBMIT FORM INSIDE LOADPANEL
------------------>
<input type="button" onClick="lp.doc.form1.submit()">
</form>
<body>
</html>

==================
form.htm

<form name="form1" action="blah.htm" method="post">
Field 1: <input type="text" name="field1" value="Field1Value">
Field 2: <input type="text" name="field1" value="Field2Value">
</form>

==================

Questions:
1.  Is this possible?
2.  Is it the same as using frames or something?  
3.  Does the "button" element after the comment "BUTTON TO SUBMIT...."
look right?

==================

Thanks,
Chris
