Rails spinoffs - Sep 2006 - Dragging across table cells to select -- like google calendar

Hi, we''re working on a Rails based rota application. My initial UI idea
was this: available shifts are shown in a table with days as columns
and hours as rows, and staff working flexi-time could select some hours
to work by clicking and dragging down in a similar way to how an
appointment is created in google calendar or Kiko. However,
implementing this has turned out to not be that straightforward. The
desired behaviour is a little like drag and drop, but it isn''t really.
It''s a little like rubber band selecting, but it isn''t that
either. I
did think that I might be able to use the drag and drop stuff in
script.aculo.us, but my attempts so far haven''t been that successful.

Has anyone tried doing something like this already, using
script.aculo.us?
