I''m no longer getting ANY error messages on the draggable. I also had
thrown in a visual effect on a jpg and that gave me an error (can''t
remember exactly, but something like "properties not defined"  which
is good in a way because (using FF) I can click the link in the
javascript console and bring up the scriptaclus.js to show me the line
where the conflict is happening.  I''m assuming (maybe a mistake) that
this means it''s finding the correct path.

But,before I really get into effects and learning more options, I''d
like to figure out why the draggable won''t work. I''m not even
getting
crosshairs.  Another option I tried, thinking maybe there was
something wonky with form elements is I created a label to act as a
handle, that didn''t work either.

I had the element in a div and thought maybe that was causing an
issue.  Again, no change in the draggable.  I looked at the shopping
cart demo and my code is very similar to the draggables there so .....

p.s  btw , I know it''s got to be something I''m doing wrong.  I
just
can''t figure out what it is.
