[Dynapi-Help] Why does dynlayer.setHTML(dynlayer.getHTML()) destroy all the children of the dynlayer??

Thu, 10 May 2001 15:30:38 -0700

I posted this yesterday in the dev list and didn't get any response.  Do I simply not understand something here or is this a valid
issue/bug?
 
 
Here's a simple example of setting a parent dynlayers html (to itself) and destroying its child.
 
Dev notes: I've checked the innerHTML and outerHTML both before and after calling setHTML() and they are identical.
 
Why does this happen?? This doesn't seem like reasonable behavior for this method.  It seems to me if I set a dynlayers HTML to
dynlayer.getHTML() then I should see the exact same thing, but I don't.  Instead dynlayers children get blown away.  Is there a way to fix this or am I using this method incorrectly?
 
Here is a code snippet:
 
<html>
<head>
 
<script language="Javascript" src="../src/dynapi.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript">
DynAPI.setLibraryPath('../src/lib/');
DynAPI.include('dynapi.api.*');
 
DynAPI. {
 aPanel=new DynLayer(null,150,200,300,150,'orange')
 aPanel.setHTML('hi')
 panel2=new DynLayer(null,30,30,100,50,'brown')
 panel2.setHTML('panel2')
 aPanel.addChild(panel2)
 DynAPI.document.addChild(aPanel)
}
</script>
 
</head>
<body bgcolor="lightblue">
<form>
<input type=button value=Click me >
</form>
</body>
</html>
