set text of layer

Hi yea,
I was wondering has anyone tried using the "Set Text of Layer Behaviour"
with SSI , just wanted to know did it work lol as I will be trying it over
the next few hours, if you ahve tried it and didnt get it to work, would be
grateful to know.

So - you are wanting to use the SetTextofLayer to write a different SSI?
SSI's are inserted at the server and then sent to the client.
SetTextofLayer works client-side. I don't think those two would ever get
together. But I could be wrong. Or do I misunderstand your question?

OK, thanks Murry, What i was thinking of is , when one puts an image path in
the Set Text of Layer, then the image is onloaded when the layer is called,
I was trying to figure would that be the same for SSI.

regards

Thanks for the help

I don't think it would be, but you could easily try.

set text of layer is a client side Javascript to write something into a
layer after the page is already loaded.

SSI is serverside. You can't change what SSI is loaded without reloading the
page- The SSI is inserted before the page ever gets to the browser.
In otherwords- you could change an SSI directive clientside from one file
to a different one. But it wouldn't change anything on the page- because the
SSI directive has to be executed while the page is being served.

as an aside- using set text of layer to show very much content has problems
when it comes to printing, linking, search engines, bookmarks, and so on.
And it means usually that all that content is in the one page increasing
loading time. Most of the methods to have an entire "site" in one page will
be nightmares.

In the general case, this is correct.

In the specific case of using it to create a nifty slide-show, where the
settext behavior is applied to a variety of links, each one writing a
different image tag into the layer, it works like a charm, and adds nothing
to the page weight. I believe that this is the very best application of
this tool that I have ever seen, and I'm certain it was something that the
original developers were not thinking of....

thanks for the reply all,
Murry i will spend some time with this and test it out and let you see the
result just out of interest.
