I wrote that I can see the setHTML working, so that would probably indicate
that it has been added to a parent.

The initial width is set to 405. The value I keep seeing is 415. This
would appear to be because I am putting in a text which is 415 wide. I did
just notice, however, that if myText is very wide, I will see a number
larger than 415, although 415 is actually the width of the DynLayer itself.
This may sound strange. Here is a bit more of my code:
////////////////////////
// updateInvite
////////////////////////
function updateInvite() {
var myText = formLayer.doc.TextForm.InviteText.value
re = /\r\n/g;
myText = myText.replace(re, "<BR>");
oldText = invite.textLayer.getHTML()
var fontselindex = formLayer.doc.TextForm.Font.selectedIndex
var sizeselindex = formLayer.doc.TextForm.Size.selectedIndex
var colorselindex = formLayer.doc.TextForm.Color.selectedIndex
var myText = "<B><FONT
FACE='"+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Font[fontselindex].value+"' "+
"SIZE="+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Size[sizeselindex].value+"
"+
"COLOR=#"+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Color[colorselindex].value+">"+
myText+"<BR><BR>" +
"Time: "+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Time.value+"<BR>"+
"Place: "+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Place.value+"<BR>"+
"Location: "+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Location.value+"<BR>"+
"Date: "+formLayer.doc.TextForm.Date.value+"<BR>"
invite.textLayer.setHTML("<CENTER>"+
myText+
"</CENTER>")
alert("width = "+invite.textLayer.getContentWidth()+" and size =
"+(inviteWidth-invite.lMargin-invite.rMargin))
alert(invite.textLayer.getWidth())
if (invite.textLayer.getContentHeight() >
inviteHeight-invite.tMargin-invite.bMargin) {
invite.textLayer.setHTML(oldText)
alert("Sorry, your message is too tall for this invitation.")
}
else if (invite.textLayer.getContentWidth() >
inviteWidth-invite.lMargin-invite.rMargin) {
invite.textLayer.setHTML(oldText)
alert("Sorry, your message is too wide for this invitation.")
}
else {
invite.textLayer.setHeight(inviteHeight-invite.tMargin-invite.bMargin)
invite.textLayer.setWidth(inviteWidth-invite.lMargin-invite.lMargin)
invite.textLayer.moveTo(invite.lMargin,
(inviteHeight-invite.bMargin-invite.tMargin-invite.textLayer.getContentHeigh
t())/2)
}
}
The page is actually online at: http://65.108.142.83/NEWeinvites.htm If you
want to see your text actually work, use the upper left image (the rose)
because it's the widest.
The two alerts in the code are obviously just my debugging technique.
Thanks,
Hershel
