I now think that putting canvas children in the global namespace was a mistake. It was to make code concise, but it's confusing and there's a better alternative: OpenLaszlo should adopt the $(name) function that Prototype.js introduced and that is becoming popular is other DHTML frameworks such as JQuery. (There's an implementation of this function in sandbox/domapi.js.) _______________________________________________ Laszlo-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-user
