Rails spinoffs - Nov 2006 - Scriptaculous, can you put a delay reverting a drag and drop draggable?

Hi, I have a simple drag and drop interface, I was wondering does
anyone know how to apply a delay time for a draggable to revert, I want
them to revert to their original position but after a delay time

at the moment I have this:
new Draggable(''drag_oject1'', {revert:true});

the above makes the draggable revert immedialty on drop.

I want something like this:
new Draggable(''drag_oject1'', {revert:function(){delay:500;
return
true}});

but that doesnt work as I expected, it just applys the delay to the
start of the drag action.
Im still fairly green on javascript in general so any help would be
appreciated!

There''s no such thing in there for now.  The reverteffect function,
which by default triggers a properly-configured Effect.Move, has no
hooks for delaying.
There is room for a rather ugly hack, relying on undocumented parts of
the code, that would involve a global onEnd draggable listener pushing a
delay-creating effect on the /private/ "_draggable" queue, if
it''s
detecting drag end on your element.  Since the code will trigger revert
after that, and will by default push the Effect.Move on this queue, you
should attain your goal.  But that''s going out on a limb:
script.aculo.us might very well implement things otherwise in the future.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Thankfully its not mission critical so I
might just add it to the scriptaculous wish list instead of writing in
a nasty hack.
