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, 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

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! 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

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(

I am working on a resource planning problem. I like to use a nice drag and drop interface for that. E.g. have a box of persons and a box of projects, now I would like to assign a persom to project by dragging it from the available resources box to a recieving project box. I have studied the amazing drag and drop shopping card code listed here http://demo.script.aculo.us/shop What I need to

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

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 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, 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.

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:

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

only just found the script.aculo.us site. brilliant. much respect. wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction on this drag and drop list re-ordering type thing, i''ve read through what I can but to be honest it''s gone right over my head! How do I get the new order that has been established via dragging list elements around and store them in a database. I figured an

Hi All, I''m just starting out with RoR and scriptaculous so I hope this is the right forum for this question. :) I''d like to use the drag & drop feature to allow users to copy text from a browse/search result to a text box across windows. For example if a user wants to browse for an existing tags, that list might be too long for a auto complete textfield to be helpful. So

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 all, I apologize if this is not the right place to post this. I am implementing a sortable list and I see there is the option of ghosting (temporarily leaving behind a copy until the drop is complete). This is, however, not what I want. What I would like to do is have a symbolic drag representation rather than showing the actual element contents while dragging. i.e. show a transparent

Hi there, This is very much a newbie question. I''ve been playing with the wiki.script.aculo.us libraries drag & drop functionality (sortable list) for a few days and trying to figure out how the scripts work, without a lot of luck. I was wondering how the "move" of the option is achieved (the "flying" option effect, if you will) and whether I can achieve the

Hi Peter, is your patch against script.aculo.us mentioned in [1] gone any further in the last 3 months? -- alberto [1] http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2585 On 22/ago/06, at 00:35, Peter Michaux wrote: > > On 8/21/06, Bill Lazar <blazar-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: >> >> Before pounding my head on this particular rock I want to ask if >>

Hello guys, I''m a scriptaculous newbie (I started working with it only yesterday) and I have already the first problem. I''m trying to implement a drag & drop list (fallowing the shopping cart example http://demo.script.aculo.us/shop) and I''m almost done but after dropping an item on the target div I need to refresh the page to see that the item has been moved.

Does anyone have a good solution for using script.aculo.us drag and drop sorting with multiple lists when one or more of those lists might start out empty? I want to drop from list A to list B, but unless B starts out with something in it, there''s no drop target there. My guess is that I could put "None" in the empty lists and then write some javascript to remove the word
