Hi. Thanks for your help so far. I took Joe's code, pasted it into a text file, and
ran the example but no layer shows up in IE or Netscape. IE does not give an exact
error but Netscape says:
dyndoc.doc.window has no properties.
If I click on the change color link I get the following error: layer1 is undefined.
I have looked at everyone's helpful posts and I can see that the dynapi is very
powerful and will be useful for many of my projects. For this project, I would like
to manipulate a div using the dynapi. Could someone post an example of how to modify
a div using the dynapi in an href? I was hoping to see how an inlne div that has been
turned into a dynlayer (by using the this.document.all['layername'] syntax) could be
manipulated by javascript inside an href. Could anyone help with this? Thanks very
much for all your help with this.
Greg

using layer1 as the inline div's id is confusing to the browser. call it
layer1Div.
Here's the way it should look

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] question for new user
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.
