> Is it possible to manipulate a dynamic element which has a variable in it?

At the moment, they are mutally exclusive : -
use dynamic attributes: - cant use elements
use element : - cant use dynamic attributes..

The problem is that the elements are rendered as $this->element['name']->toHtml();
and the element have no knowledge of dynamic values.

It could be fixed I guess.. - probably worth filing as a bug.. (although fixes hapen faster with patches)

it would probably involve having attributes['xxxx'] = array('....', array('getVar','$t->.....')
and also passing $t to the object, so that it has something to render..

Reproduce code:
---------------
Template:
<mybutton id="CustomerButton" value="{customer.id}" flexy:dynamic="yes" />

Element Code:
$elements=$template->getElements();
foreach ($elements as $elementName => $element) {
if ($element->tag=='mybutton') {
$buttonAttributes=array(
'type'=>'button',
'onclick'=>"javascript:doSomething()"
);
$elements[$elementName]=new HTML_Template_Flexy_Element("input",
$buttonAttributes);
}

Expected result:
----------------
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:soSomething()" id="CustomerButton" value="26" />

Actual result:
--------------
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:soSomething()" id="CustomerButton" />
