Rails spinoffs - Feb 2006 - Using draggable_element doesnt work with update_element_function

Hi everyone,

I am writing a ruby on rails application, and making heavy use of AJAX calls
and evaluate_remote_response. In my remote responses I often have several
update_element_function calls going on, to update several divs on the page.

What I am doing is calling update_element_function, with the content as a
block. Inside the block I usually have html, or make calls to other partials
or components. This all works great. The problem I am having seems to come
when I try to make this content draggable using draggable_element. For
instance, I have a component that gets rendered when the user firsts loads
the page and it is draggable and it drags just fine. Then when the user
makes a selection to some options on the page, it makes an AJAX call and
uses update_element_function to re-render the component using the same exact
render_component call that was used when the page was first loaded. But when
the call is made through the update_element_function it is like the
draggable_element script does not get executed and none of the draggable
stuff is actually draggable... in both IE and Firefox.

Hopefully this makes sense, does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

-Tom
