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

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

Hi, I''m new to this mailing list, so first off, a big THANK YOU for the script.aculo.us and prototype.js libraries. I''m trying to integrate script.aculo.us into an existing pretty large Javascript codebase (see http://openrecord.org). I''m running into a problem with prototype.js and the existing codebase''s use of for/in loops over an Array.

I''ve got some very simple drag & drop scripts that I''ve put together for testing purposes just so I can get the kinks worked out before I build the drag & drop functionality into my application. The scripts work fine in Firefox but when using IE7 it craps out after I drop a draggable on a droppable. I drag a username div to a number div drop it and the username reverts,

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.

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 Thomas and all, Thanks again for the wonderful script.aculo.us library. I have a drag and drop question (sorry if I''m posting this a second time, I''m not sure if my first post went through). For my drag and drop event, I would like for the drop to do an "add" if the option or alt key is pressed, and do a "move" otherwise. Is there an easy way to

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

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(

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

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:

hi i think my example is very simple and straightforward so i''m not sure if it meets your needs (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.) i did this # 2 divs created here <script language="javascript"> new Draggable(''drag'', {revert: false});

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

I need to return both the draggable element id and the dropped on element id to a ruby method. I''m using the helper method drop_receiving_element, and it''s all good and well until the onDrop part. I really want to pass both id''s to the ruby method that I''m calling. Really. However, it seems like onDrop only accepts a javascript function. :url => {:action

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:

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 I''ve a class which creates a lot of droppable icons (folders) and another class that creates some draggable file icons. When I drop one of the files in the folders I want to remove the file icon from the screen. However, doing Element.remove(droppedElement); results in a repeated js error "element has no properties" in protoype line 1588. This continues to occur until I

Why does my script.aculo.us code not work in Safari? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>draggable chess</title> <script src="prototype.js"

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

Here''s the deal. I''m making an ajax-based chess game. It''s done but there''s something I''d like changed. Right now, to move pieces, you click on the piece you want and you click where you want the piece to go. People expect that, but they also expect the ability to simply drag and drop the piece. So I''ve been using the draggables and droppables,
