[Dynapi-Help] help with draggable layers

[tom zito]

I'm using DynAPI to first create a layer,

DynAPI.onLoad = function () {

     fred = new DynLayer();
     fred.setSize(1,1);
     fred.moveTo(100,100);
     fred.setVisible(false);
        
           DynAPI.document.addChild(fred);

}


then depending upon which link is selected, change the html of the layer 
to suit the link using the following function:

function fDisplay() {
        fred.setHTML(txt);
         var x = fred.getContentWidth();
        var y = fred.getContentHeight();
        fred.moveTo(5,5);
        fred.setVisible(true);
        fred.setSize(x,y);
        DragEvent.setDragBoundary(document);
         DragEvent.enableDragEvents(fred);
}

function fHide()  {
        fred.setVisible(false);
}

the text is set directly in the onClick event.  All events are assigned 
to images within anchor tags.  This seems to work fine in IE5x, Mozilla 
0.9.4, Netscape 6x, but not in Netscape 4x.

When the layer is hidden using the fHide function, Netscape 4x has all 
mouse events disabled in the parent document such that no onClick events 
(or onMouseDown, onMouseOver etc.) work.  A workaround has been to 
assign all the events directly in the href tag, but as there are other 
onClick events on the page that are unrelated to this layer 
functionality, this solution is unacceptable.

Anyone see this problem before?

thanks

Here is an example of how the events are called in the HTML:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="txt = 'General information about 
campus resources.&#160;&#160;&lt;a class=&quot;active&quot 
href=&quot;#&quot; 
onmouseover=&quot;fHide();&quot;&gt;close&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font 
color=blue face=Arial size=1&gt;09/11/2001 11:50&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;font 
face=Arial size=2&gt;Our primary paging services provider, Arch Paging, 
has notified us that nationwide paging coverage is being severely 
limited or unavailable.  No details on the expected length of this 
outage are currently available.    Our local telephone service provider, 
BellSouth, has made a public request to limit telephone calls to 
critical calls due to the high volume of calling being placed on the 
public telephone network.      We will provide further updates on these 
or other services as information is available.    &lt;/font&gt;';
