. . . me too. I am still sifting through the list archives, apologies if I
ask something already documented.
First, can I say, this stuff is great. Amazing. Thoroughly engaging way to
while away the hours. Now to bombard the group with questions.
1) NS4 window doesn't scroll content no matter what. I set massive layer
heights, I load external files that are miles long, IE scrolls nicely, and
NS4 always clips everything at the botom of the browser window with no
scrolling. Is there a way around this?
2) onResize methods: I am using "liquid" layers (remember dynapi1?) by
setting width and height to DynAPI.document.w and .h respectively. Works
great. But I ned a good method to redraw everything on resize, of course.
Here's what I use:
DynAPI.onResize = function() {
DynAPI.document.deleteAllChildren() ;
DynAPI.onLoad() ;
}
This is fine on Windows browsers I've tested, but (gulp) I need to support
Macintosh and this function really hosed IE5 on the Mac G3. I repeated the
experiment a few times, each time getting "Error type 2" (thanks for the
info, mac engineers), followed shortly by a full system crash. Yikes. So is
there a better way? I fiddled around with removeChild(), removeFromParent(),
and document.recreateAll(), but probably not in the right combination. Any
tips here appreciated.
3) The last problem led me to investigate the browser (is.) methods. I don't
get the right syntax to check for the mac; is.platform seems to be the way,
but neither is.mac nor is.platform = "mac" seems to do it:
if ((is.platform="mac") && (is.ie))
{DynAPI.document.load('steve_jobs_is_not_the_messiah.htm')} ;
weirdly this returns true on my PC. Again apologies for any basic javascript
blindness on my part.
OK. I develop and browse on a PC but use a Mac at work, so I'll volunteer to
help test that platform as needed. I seem to remember that issue came up
somewhere.
Thanks for suggestions on any front,
Greg
