Ok, fully working now, but there are a few issues with this technique, can
they be fixed? otherwise documented, so we know when we have to reload the
page instead.
Testing resizing in NS4.08 on winME:
*dynapi.gui.list.html - works well.
* dynapi.api.create.htm - works well.
* dynapi.ext.inline.htm - does not work - loses text
* dynapi.event.dragevent.html - works well
* dynapi.api.inputHtml.htm - works well
* dynapi.event.keyevents.html - works well
* dynapi.gui.pushpanel.html - works, but loses clipping, if the pushpanel
has been used.
* dynapi.util.thread.html - works well
all animations work perfect, except:
* dynapi.util.imganim.html - works ok if not animating, locks browser with
error otherwise.
* dynapi.gui.viewport.html - this is the one causing the size problem i
think.
* dynapi.gui.dynimage.html - this seems to be the culprit of imageanim's
problems, it doesn't remember left/right unless a size has been set, and
can't be used after resizing.
* dynapi.gui.buttonimage.html - causes errors after resizing.
* dynapi.gui.button.html - works ok.
* dynapi.event.mouseevents.htm - works ok
So the two main problems are with viewport, and dynimage, we have to fix at
least dynimage, or the whole thing isn't much use.
Another thing, since DynAPI-X, NS4 suffers from horrible text selecting when
there are scroll-bars on the page , it seems the mousedown bubbles to the
page, but the mouseup doesn't.
I attached the files modified with resize-fix, and ns4events-fix for those
who want to test.
Cheers,
Richard Bennett
