similar to: Select & drag multiple elements

Sorry if this sounds cynical, ( i do love script.aculo.us scripts ) , but I am wondering if people know of some good real world examples of uses of drag n drop and sortable lists. such a cute script will likely be *ab*used as much as it is used. obviously the point here is to use script.aculo.us to improve the user interface rather than just have some k00l eFX. e.g. the drag n drop instantly

Hi everybody- First time poster, please be gentle. I have written a little rails app where you can create divs and move them around via Thomas'' wonderful dragdrop.js. I would like to be able to fire an AJAX event to update the top and left of the dragged object upon release. I see many AJAX link_to_remote and observe_field. What is the proper way to observe that the position (not

Using older versions of prototype.js (1.4.0_rc2) and scriptaculous (1.5._rc4), I had a master table containg other tables (sections), each of which had rows. Using tbody''s as containers, I could drag the section tables up and down over the other section tables AND drag the rows in a section table up and down within that table or into the rows of the other section tables, all very

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! The information transmitted in this

Hi, I''m just trying out the possibilities of script.aculo.us / prototype having two problems... I have a draggable element with revert:false-property and two dropzones. (The draggables are in a <td> and the dropzones are <div>s if that is important.) 1. I want the draggable element to snap back to its original position when it gets dropped anywhere out of a dropzone. 2.

Thomas, Special thanks for the dragdrop library. I consider your javascript abilities quite superior to my own, in fact I''m just setting out on a quest to master javascript, I found your library the other night and started hacking away on my app. I replaced a dom-drag.js library I was using before with yours since it integrated with prototype better, and appears to be better coded.

Thomas, I''m mostly writing this to you. A couple weeks ago I grabbed the latest SVN version of dragdrop.js because I needed the auto-scroll functionality. I just fixed something in that script that wasn''t working correctly and thought you might want to hear about it. You may have already caught it since I grabbed the script but here it is anyway. In the updateDrag() function

i want to be able to drag divs and drop them onto other divs. i want the behavior to be as follows: if the draggable div is released too far away from one of the droppable divs, then it goes back to its original position. however, if it is sufficiently close to one of the droppable divs then it moves directly on top of that div and stays there. this is the way dojo works (with bugs). i just

Hi - my first post here so first of all can I say how impressed I am with this library Now to my first question - I''m simply trying to make a div draggable, here''s my test page: http://localhost:85/folio11.co.uk/js_tech_demo/scriptalicious_test.html what seems to be happening is that the first drag works fine, but on subsequent drags the div''s initial coordinates

Hi, I found that Sortable is the most similar solution, but it seems draggables cannot be dragged back to the original container if all draggables were dragged out the container. And I have to drag & drop a draggable element overlap another one. -- Regards. Yufan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Actually, it''s a bit more complicated than that... I have a div (we''ll call it the "portal") of a fixed size and absolute positioning, with an overflow: scroll set. Inside, I have a container div with relative positioning. This inner container has a series of absolutely-positioned elements which are draggable with a vertical constraint. The height of the container is

I have two fixes in a text file. I created the diff using "diff -u", so I hope you can apply the patch. The file is attached. I never could get my optional ''scroll when the dragged element goes outside the scrolled element'' thing to work. I got it to start scrolling correctly, but then it would start making increasingly big jumps and basically scroll out of control.

I am trying to create a screen like Google''s personalized home pages or start.com, i.e., with draggable sections, with the extra feature that the child items under the parent headings could be dragged and dropped from one parent heading to another. I have set up nested droppable sortables (dropOnEmpty=true) but the behavior is very inconsistent, i.e, parents do not become droppable

Suppose some elements created using scriptaculous, and now want to add drag&drop characteristic to them,but the draggable elements can be dragged with the scope of whole browser,how to limit the draggable area within some DIV,for example the div that the elements lie in.

Hi, First thanks for your great scripts! According to the documents:http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop The Draggable''s option ''handle'' value is a string referencing a CSS class. The first child/grandchild/etc. element found within the element that has this CSS class will be used as the handle. However, in the source code file dragdrop.js line 250, is, this.handle=

Will that work with Sortable as well? > -----Original Message----- > From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs- > bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Fuchs > Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:48 PM > To: rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org >

I just download 1.6 and tried doing a simple draggable , but it doesn''t work. Firefox console / evaluate : Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

This one is as much for Thomas as for the rest of the list (might be a good one for the official build)... I made a change to the dragdrop.js file that significantly improves overall performance of dragging when there are more than one (or many more) droppables on the page. I modified the Draggables.updateDrag method, and added another method below it, and then in Draggable.updateDrag I

Hi all, Is it possible to use HTML area objects from an image map as droppables for a drag/drop interface? I want to get a different response depending on which part of an image I drop a draggable div object on. The context is creating an incident report form where injuries can be dragged onto a body sketch. I''ve tried this using the code below. However, the droppable is always

Hi all, this is a patch for 1.5_rc5 I noticed that I was not able to drag stuff out of scrolling divs. When I tried to drag it out, the draggable would remain in that div and the scrollbars would adapt to the bigger content of the div. This patch extends draggable with an option :tofront. When it is set to true, the draggable will be moved to the document body while keeping its position on the
