Hi all,
I''ve been trying for a while to make a droppable element (div) recieve
any highlighted/selected html fragment, but I can''t get it to work.
Is there something I''m missing or is this not possible with prototype
etc.
Just creating a Droppable doesn''t do anything.
So far I have
<div id="dropper" style="height:200px;width:200px;border:1px
solid
black">
</div>
<script>
Droppables.add(''dropper'', {
onDrop: function(element){ alert("Hi There"); }
}
);
</script>
and it does nothing :(
Anyone have any ideas. Basically I want to highlight an area on my
page and drop that, without explicitly setting it as a draggable.
Cheers
Daniel

Hey there, A Droppable is just an area where Draggables can be dropped. You''re only setting up one end of the Drag''n''drop paradigm here: your text selections do not become Draggable object by sheer force of will alone.

In short, it''s no picnic. But then, your need is advanced here, believe it or not. -- Christophe Porteneuve aka TDD tdd-x+CfDp/qHev2eFz/2MeuCQ@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I''ve been looking at this for the last few days, and I''ve managed to recognize the drop event from randomly highlighted text/things draged onto an element (div for safari and textarea for mozilla) but I can''t easily access this as it seems to be on the clip board. Text inputs, regardless of browser seem to allow this kind of dropping of random stuff on them. I''m wondering how they do it? Christophe Porteneuve aka TDD> tdd-x+CfDp/qHev2eFz/2MeuCQ@public.gmane.orgThanx for your help.
