Ah this is great news, I have only touched the surface, but I have had a
little play - I basically work with CMS themes and I have been experimenting
more and more with dynamic stuff for the themes. The main problems I have
found so far is a lack of support for mozilla firefox - correct me if I'm
wrong but many features do not seem to work with firefox - I did download
the mozilla version, but still problems...

I have found that it has become increasingly important for web display
elements to be cross browser compatable - at least with the big three ie,
mozilla, netscape. Is there a push in this direction with dynapi?

It will be good to get some kind of crossbrowser release out - I have
noticed dynapi code and concepts cropping up in scripts that are commercial
(ie free for non commercial use, but for comemrcial use you purchase a
license! - I have no  problem with charfing for code, but hell sometimes we
are talking about half a dozen lines of code here! it would be nice to have
some well written cross browser GPL code to use instead...

Anyway if you need testing I can throw the code out to the Postnuke and
phpnuke communities for testing in some of my free themes.
