Hi.
First of all, I'd like to thank Dan, Pascal and everyone else who has
worked/is working on this project - I really appreciate what you guys are
doing (there's no way I could ever write that kind of code, as my questions
below will demonstrate) and I'd just like to express my thanks and big
respect.
OK. I am a developer of small to medium skills, but I am having some real
problems using some aspects of DynAPI2 - I am trying to make a tooltips
system (which I know the API is well over-spec'd for, but I thought I'd
start small) that is, wait for it, dynamic. Huzzah.
I can create and display the required DynLayer, but I can't seem to capture
the mouse position in order to position this layer (I am also having trouble
shunting the right HTML into the layer, but that is not a major concern
right now) The code I am using is below (please be aware that I am NOT a
programmer, but am trying to learn as I go along, so some of my javascript
is a bit ropey to say the least)
If anyone can spot what I'm doing wrong here, or point me towards some help,
I'd be eternally grateful (my studio is talking about budget now, and I
don't have a huge amount of time to fix this before I have to do it all as
horrid static HTML, which will take a lot of monkey work and will be hard to
maintain - it's a BIG load of tips)
I have read all of Pascal's tutorials, and the FAQ's, but apologies if I
have not noticed something in there that I should have done.
tia,
spike.
