[Dynapi-Help] question for new user

Fri, 02 Feb 2001 14:30:38 -0800

Hi. I have been trying to use the DynApi today to implement a scrollable window.  I have a lot of dynamic text that comes from a database and may contain a lot of quotes. so as far as I  understand this rules out creating a layer using the .setText method.  I have been trying to use inline method but have not been successful.  Below is a simple, slightly modified example form the code examples on the dynapi site.  Could someone please tell me how to make this work?  The error I get is Line: 0 Object does not support this property or method.
 
Also, it seems that you cannot have an onLoad() in the body tag of an html page when using the dynapi. Is this correct?  Thanks very much for any help.
