I'm playing around with layers & child layers. It seems like an assumption I made is wrong perhaps.
I thought that I could create a layer, A, and add another layer B...and as long as the HTML in B and A weren't in the same spot they'd both show up. I recall seeing this before when playing with other people's code. I tried: pane = new DynLayer(null,160,160,800,360,null); DynAPI.document.addChild(pane); aLayer = new DynLayer(null,50,50,400,20,null); aLayer.setBgColor('red'); pane.addChild(aLayer); aLayer.setHTML('asdf'); --------> Everything works as I thought pane.setHTML('blah') --------> This makes the child layer's HTML disappear How/Why does <parent>.setHTML mess with the child's html, etc? I even tossed in a aLayer.setHTML('blah') after the pane.setHTML, but couldn't get the child's HTML back. What's going on? Thanks, Cheers -James p.s. Thanks for the replies about the prototype/inheritance models. I understand classic OOP inheritance, just couldn't make sense of the javascript syntax. I'll read through that netscape doc, it looked like it had some examples. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
