Figuring out how to setup a few examples on this blog



This is an attempt to setup some examples.

Here I present 3 items and 2 containers.

Just drag an item to a container. The containers can also be dragged.


Example 1. Dragging items between containers






drag

drag

TODO
  1. Hmmm... I have no idea why an element would not have the .style attribute... check with firebug on a mozilla browser to see my point.
  2. Get containers to drag
  3. Get items to drag to containers and beyond
In the meantime check out these examples:

  1. drag & drop to multiple containers 1
  2. drag & drop to multiple containers 2
  3. drag & drop to multiple containers 3
  1. drag & drop swap on release 1
  2. drag & drop swap on release 2

jsTool the cross-browser drag and drop javascript library

This blog shall demonstrate what jsTool does. Also to gather feedback from users other than I.

Only thing I have to figure out now is how to use scripts within blogger. Leave a message or mail me back if you know how.

Visit the project site, try it out if you like.

Try it out now!

If When you find a bug, describe the following:
  1. Browser
  2. Browser version
  3. How-to reproduce the error
  4. Cause of the error (optional)
  5. diff of the modified file against the original in the svn repository (optional)
I have provided compressed files of the project, but I advise users to also checkout an svn copy, since bugs will be fixed sooner in the svn repository than the compressed files.
Also some handy python, bash scripts are present in the svn repository.
