i have copied the DOM-inspector like code to do my own painting. it works pretty well except the actual drawing of the lines doesn't appear immediately after i run the code. that is, it seems like the window or the view has to refresh or something for the lines to appear. is there something i need to do? thanks. -- Xiaolei Li | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.xiaolei.org _______________________________________________ mozilla-embedding mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-embedding
