similar to: Dragging to a textfield?

Hi All, I am trying to develop a dynamic form creator application, whereby we can drag objects from a "palette" and drop them onto a "form" to build the design of our form. To achieve this, when I have dragged the object, and dropped it onto the "form" area, I want to get the position of where the object was dropped. I have a droppable area:

So, is there any way to specify a sortable to only do a callback when the dragged item is dropped? As it is, the onChange is called whenever you move the draggable to a new element (even if you don''t drop it), but I''d rather only call my function after they drop it to avoid unnecessary additional server calls. It looks like Droppable supports an ''onDrop'', but

I apologize if these questions are not relevant to Scriptaculous. I just want to get a general idea if I can acomplish some or all of these things with the framework, and then what (if any) I''ll need to do outside just using javascript. For now, I have 2 column layout. On the right I want a form palette where form elements can be dragged to the left column. I have a form inside the

Hi! As in http://groups.google.es/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thread/bbd975bac3be748a?hl=es I have some problems with onDrop on a Droppable Instead of he I have only a sortable list with draggable elements (I make the list sortable and every element draggable) I try two forms: onDrop: Borrar where Borrar is something like: Borrar = function () { my code here } an onDrop:

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.

Hello, I''m making my first steps with prototype and scriptaculous. I''m playing around with drag and drop. What I try to do: I have some Draggables and some Droppables. You can drag each Draggables to each Droppables. When I drop a Draggables I want to center the Draggables inside the Droppable. And here I get my first problems:-( I use this code: Droppables.add(

Hey all, First, I just want to say thanks to all of you who read, and email here frequently. So "Thanks". Second, I have a little pet project. This one has not timelines, and is mainly meant for my own personal growth and javascript goodness. It is a drag and drop game, and it may not be 100% possible to do everything I want with it. But that has not stopped me from

I am not sure how many of you are using draggables/droppables but I thought I would do some experimentation and try and learn how to use them on my own. Well, I have draggables, and I have droppables. I do have one question for now. The droppable onDrop event seems to pass in 2 objects, the dropped object, and the container the object was dropped on. My question is this, can I figure

hi I''m making a chess board app in Rails using the scriptaculous drag and drop stuff. A couple of questions, I am having trouble putting the chess pieces in the correct place - simply it seems that when i make somethign draggable it changes its positioning to relative - not so good for putting pieces on a board. Why is this ? Also i can''t see an OnDrop callback in the API

Hello, I''m very new to ajax and was looking for advice on scriptaculous at their website and they suggested i join your mailing list, I hope that was the right thing to do, I haven''t installed ROR yet but i have downloaded the needed one-click installer which i will setup sometime soon, until such time i would like to work with scriptaculous in its native form in php files, the

I am quite disappointed in the drag ''n'' drop support in Mozilla Firefox. What am trying to achieve is dragging an element from one IFRAME/FRAME into another IFRAME/FRAME. But upon dropping the element, I do not want the target IFRAME/FRAME to open/load it. I want it simply to handle the event, such as parsing the element/data dropped. Such uses as dropping an element into a

Hi, What I need to know is how to change revert:true to revert:false from a draggable after I drop it on a droppable so it doesn''t return to its original place. Something like: [CODE] <!-- Draggable image --> <img alt="Product" id="item" src="icon.png"> <script type="text/javascript"> new

Hi, I have this code which allows me to drop a draggable item in to a droppable zone. It works fine but what i want to happen is once the item ( droppable) has been dropped in to the drop zone (dropp) for the item to be draggable again. At the moment once ive dropped the item in the drop zone i can''t make it draggable again.....even if i repeat this line: new

This one''s kicking me in the *(&#^. All I want to do is create a draggable item and then detect the coordinates where it is dropped. So my first approach was to just use the draggable_element with :revert => false, like so: <%= draggable_element "my_element", :revert => false %> That works great and lets me drag stuff all over the place. In the scriptaculous

Im having problems with Droppables, and read that there are some attributes on the element that must be inline. What are those? I''ve tried to copy some of the code from the shop-demo, and my code seems to have the exact same attributes and more. The problem is that the droppable refuse to react whenever I attempt to drop a draggable on it, the onDrop does''nt seem to trigger.

If you want the whole list draggable as one entity, you make one draggable. If you want each item draggable on their own, you need to make each one a new draggable. -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of

Hi! is it possible to make a drag dependent on a KeyPress event? I couldn''t find any information on that on the script.aculo.us website. My scenario is the following: I have a tree with several nodes (like windows explorer). Right now i use Drag & Drop to move a node below a new parent. Now i want to implement a copy mechanism which allows the user to copy a node through Drag

Hi, Thomas and David, thanks for updating script.aculo.us to be compatible with IE7 and other Javascript libraries. I successfully integrated the libraries with my project, OpenRecord. I have a few drag and drop questions: 1) For my drag and drop event, I would like to the drop to do an "add" if the option or alt key is pressed, and do a "move" otherwise. Can I get

Hello, Well, i need to limit the number of elements in a sortable. I new to scriptaculo but i have lots of experiencie with javascript. Since limit the number of elements is not supported by Sortable i would like to implement, i already took a look at the Sortable class in dragdrop.js and it looks like that onHover and onEmptyHover deal with the update of the UI, however I''m not unable
