I have some drag and drop to do that is just a little different from the scriptaculous demos. My application has a shopping cart-like setup, where the user needs to drag an item from the main content area to a particular position in the cart. I don''t want to be able to sort items in the content area. That is, the target is a Sortable list, but the source is not. Problem one was that

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 folks, I''m having a little trouble with the hoverclass parameter of the Sortables.create method. Unfortunately I can''t post a demo page at this time, but I''m creating three lists with the following code: Sortable.create("listOne", {dropOnEmpty:true,containment:["listOne","listTwo", "listThree"],constraint:false,

i know someone just recently asked about queueing ajax requests, my question is similar in the regards that i don''t want my application to send multiple requests. i have 2 sortabbles lists left, and right. when i move an item from left to the right the onUpdate callback will send 2 ajax requests. one for each sortables. however. i want it to serialize and send back the results from

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, I''m coding a shopping cart using your effects library. There are 2 parts in my page. On the left the list of my products and on the right the shopping cart.

Hey I got a question regarding sortables. I can drag and drop the items on a page to different locations. But when I refresh the page the contraols are goin to their inital positions.

I''m needing to implement some drag and drop in a way that leaves the clicked element where it is, and carries a new element over to my Droppable. Its analogous to a shopping cart: I want to drag a representation of an item into my cart, but leave the original item intact in the main product list. Does anyone have any tips on how to approach this? Its seems to use

We are creating a simple widget portal for our site and trying to use Sortables. Each of our widgets is an iframe. But when you try to drag an element containing an iframe the Sortables api causes the iframe to reload at each possible drop point. This causes the ui to shutter and become unusable. I have narrowed the issue down the onEmptyHover where dropon.insertBefore is called. Is there a

*** don''t know if i''ll be clear... if not, tell me Hi. http://favoris.lichenmedia.com/untitled.htm I don''t know why, but when I drag those sortables (tagged with the handle handle) filled with the sortables (the lists with lorem ipsum) The handled-one "stays" where you dropped them.

Hello everyone: I''ve been using scriptaculous for very long time and it''s really good. However, I just came across another problem about using sortables in a scrollable div. The basic structure is: <div style="overflow:auto; height=400px"> <div id=''Item1''></div> <div id=''Item2''></div> ....

Does anyone know how I can create something that would enable me to drag & drop multiple items? Example: In an email application (like outlook web access) I want to select multiple mails and move them to a folder. Is it possible to do it with this library? The shopping cart example doesn''t let you select the other div (image) using the control key... Any help would be greatly

Hi everybody, Could somebody have a look at a little sortable example at http://www.weisshuhn.de/diagnose/sortable.html It implements two Sortables and a Draggable. You can drag elements from the "source" Sortable to the main Sortable, sort them (surprise) and drag them to a trash. Whenever you drag from the "source", a new element is created (by cloning an invisible

hi, I have a draggable element (cart-item) in a shopping cart <%= draggable_element "item_#{product}_#{i}", :revert => true %> When this element is dragged outside the cart into the "main_div", I want to show a puff effect and remove the element. When it is dragged within the cart, it should revert. So i wrote this code for drop_receiving _element <%=

Hello, I''m implementing sortables in Rails and I can''t seem to get the lovely effect from the Sortable Floats Demo on Thomas'' wonderful site: http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop#sortable-floats-demo Simply put, I can''t get the effect whereby you''re dragging the image.

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.

Hi, I have two sortables with different options (but same tags. just ''li''). When I drag an item from sortable1 to sortable2 I want it to gain the options that the sortable2 items have. I''ve tried all day to understand how Draggables and their observers are destroyed but I keep gettting buggy behavior. Part of the problem is the draggable and the draggableObserver are
