Rails spinoffs - Mar 2006 - RE: Support for window scrolling for draganddrop

To answer my own question, yes.  I looked at the trunk and it passes the
option on from Sortable.

Am doing so now, but not making much progress.  Pretty thick code, that
draggable stuff.  One day it''ll click.

Yeah, true.  Just thought I''d point it out.  Because our proxy at work
blocks all ports but 80 and 443, I can''t really checkout the SVN and
create patch files.  So, I thought I''d just mention it so someone who
has that access could patch it.

One more thing about my comment about it not moving the element.  That
seems to only be true if you''re scrolling the window element and you
move your mouse outside out of the viewable area of the browser (i.e. if
your mouse goes up on to the menu bar or down on to the status bar).
The window doesn''t track the mouse movements in that area, so the code
doesn''t know that the position has changed.  Maybe if we moved the item
based on the amount scrolled instead of the position of the mouse, it
would fix it.  I''ll try to do that.
