[Xerte] Re: _ytile issue

[Dave Burnett]

I'll file that.
I have a dirty workaround whereby I add enough <br>'s to the bottom of the text to stretch the box to the bottom of the image, then it just uses that for the _ytile and the image pops into place after the fact.

Are the iamges of any particular size? Do you know up front how big the icons will be? Presumably not. You can do this: Hang a proto page off a decision icon set to loop and not erase. In the page: IMG //id= imgTEXT //if neededINT  EVT //onLoad, set to exit    SCR //do your stuff here – colour, keep track of the y coord. And then dupe the page for as many images as you’re loading. You can re-use the ‘img’ id, no need to set  ‘em.  From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Subject: [Xerte] Re: _ytile issue Thanks Jules, suspected as much.I guess I could move the _ytile to where I set the colour, as that seems to be measuring correctly.But that means assigning id's to stuff. :-/ I'll see if there is a dirtier workaround in the html.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: _ytile issueThe image hasn’t loaded when _ytile is used, so it only measures the height of the text field. From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Subject: [Xerte] _ytile issue  I'm duplicating and then setting properties on some text icons. The icons have a y property of _ytile+25.Works as expected when there is simple text set in the node. But if I add an image to that text:icon.nextSibling.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue = '<img src="common/lucio.jpg"/><b>' + colone_array[i]+ '</b>'; it no longer tiles correctly. They overlap as if the plain text is still being used as the _ytile registration point. The odd thing is that following the setup of those icons, I colour the text background:icon.parentNode.childNodes[i].clip().txt.backgroundColor= 0xFFF8C6; It sets up correctly. e.g. it is correctly seeing the graphic as part of the .txt object and colours the area holding both text and image.  So _ytile is not seeing the y extent of the object but clip() is? Dave
