Hey all.  I haven't done anything with dynapi2.  I
messed around 
a little bit with the original version probably over a
year ago.
Anyways, I always thought it was a pretty cool api so
I thought maybe 
I'd try it to solve the problem I now have at hand.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
I am creating a list of links with a perl script.
Each link has 3 radio buttons associated with it, that
will be on the left 
side of the link.
Each radio button has a unique color, ie(red, green,
orange).
When the user clicks one of the radio buttons I want
the background 
of the link to change to that color.  
I've been messing around with dynapi now for less than
an hour, reading 
docs and modifying examples that come with the distro.
 But the problem 
I'm having is I need to create these dynlayers on the
fly, because 
I don't know how big my list of links will be, my perl
script figures 
all that out.  
So when you create a new dynlayer on the fly can you
pass the name 
to the function that creates the new layer, 
then eval() the name to set it's properties?
Or is there another, better method of handling it?
Also I don't want to have to set the position of the
layer.
I would like the layer to appear where it would on the
page if it were 
just another html element.  In other words, is there a
way to let the position be 
rendered, or figured out by the html like normal?
I remember with the original version you could just
put a div where you wanted 
it and then work on it's properties with the api.  But
the new version seems 
to be completely self contained, as far as I can see. 
Does this mean I can't
add my own div on the page and then work on it with
dynapi?  
Or may I can but it isn't a good idea to do it that
way?
Here's a screenshot to help you understand what I'm
trying to do,
