Rails - Mar 2007 - Relocating an HTML element without rerendering anything?

Hey :)

As some of you may know, I''m working on a drag-and-drop AJAX tree
manager. I''ve got it pretty much done now, except for the dropping of
one node onto another. I can relocate and save the node fine, but I''d
like to be able to move the node and have it placed inside a specific
inner div to where it''s dropped without having to reload the place
it''s dropped. As the drop target is a node, too, and might be expanded
at any number of levels, refreshing that node would kill this state,
leaving it either collapsed, or expanded at just one level.

On my drop_receiving_element, I''d like to be able to say something
like:

  :success    => "Element.move_to(element_id, target_id)"

Is there some way I can do this?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel :)
