Rails spinoffs - Apr 2006 - RE: Drag and drop events. Or: How I learned to takeover the world.

You should open up dragdrop.js in the scriptaculous directory and take a
look at the interface for Draggables/Draggable.  There is an event for
dragStart, dragging, and dragEnd (not by those exact names but you
should see them)... sorry I can''t offer more help than just pointing
you
in the right direction... very busy. Good luck, nice start!

Ok, since a couple people seem to be having problems with this, I dug
into some of my code to find the exact solution... you need to register
an observer object with the Draggables.addObserver() method. In this
observer object, you can test the draggable params in the associated
methods to make sure the draggable is the one you''re looking for that
specific action...



var myDraggable = new Draggable($(''someElement''),
dragOptions);
var myDraggableObserver = {
	onStart: function(eventName, draggable, event) {
		if (draggable == myDraggable) {
			//take action (dragging has started)
		}
	},
			
	onDrag: function(eventName, draggable, event) {
		if (draggable == myDraggable) {				
			//take action (dragging is going on)	
		}
	},

	onEnd: function(eventName, draggable, event) {
		if (draggable == myDraggable) {

			//take action (dragging has stopped)
		}
	}
}
Draggables.addObserver(this.moveableObserver);
