[Laszlo-user] Dynamically creating views from XML

[J B]

I have a scenario where I am trying to draw a series of small squares of different colors.  I am getting the information as to what color and position from an xml file.  However, I am having difficulty using the information to set the color.

<canvas width="600" height="600" debug="false">
    <include href="" />
    <dataset name="dset" src="" " />

    <class name="pixel" extends="view" width="5" height="5">
        <method event="onmouseover"></method>
        <method event="onmouseout"></method>
    </class>

    <class name="row" extends="view" width="100" height="5">
        <view datapath="dset:/nodes/node">
            <pixel bgcolor="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" x="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" y="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
                <tooltip text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
            </pixel>
        </view>
    </class>

    <window width="100" height="100" resizable="true">
        <row />
    </window>
</canvas>

In he above code, I want to set the color attribute of the pixel class to the color attribute found in the dataset, but I cannot seem to access it in this manner.  Can anyone shed some light on how I might do this?

Thanks!

Birch
