I agree,
I've used DynAPI for close to 4 months now and now and then I get problems.
When this occurs I try to see what goes wrong, see if I can fix it and then
if not ask on the list if anyone know what to do about it. All problems I've
come across so far have been known and I find it quite typical that people
tend to try it, see that it won't work and then come here "whining". DynAPI
has it's problem but they can most often be fixed through a little
experimentation. Please try a bit more before saying "You have to fix this,
this, this and that". Personally I think that the info given in the FAQ
tells you everything you need to know if you just look at it hard enough.
I'm myself completelly astonished by the huge amount of time Pascal et al
spends on this list and the DynAPI. I personally think that DynAPI is
something really big and that if you learn what it can and cannot do it can
really give you something.
At my company we support IE4+ and NS4+ on PC and IE4.5+ and NS4+ on Mac. It
took me 3 days to get my stuff (which is something the javascript gurus told
me was not possible: dynamic layer positioning adhering to content height
etc.).. I had never really touched JavaScript before, but I know some other
real programming languaes well =)
And puhlease don't assume that you can write your dynapi code and it wil be
crossbrowser, nothing else is so add some browserchecks... Nice example is
NS6, by actually changing the order that I set various properties of a
dynlayer I could get it to work flawlessly, while code that always worked
before was a disaster. DHTML simply doesn't work the same between
browsers...
Honest opinion, that's all..

then do that.
Sorry, but I always get VERY nervous when new people are jumping in ready to
fix everything. I've seen this happen so many times while working on the
DynAPI and those persons are long gone without completing any of there big
ideas. How about getting your self familiar with this project first.. help
people out (not just by telling them they should use Konquerer) submit
patches, bug fixes, etc..
We don't work magic, we code in freetime.. patches will eventually be looked
at .. promissed.
