Ajax click and drag libraries

Post by alex.barylski »

I think Yahoo has one...not sure if it's over kill for what I want though...

I need to implement single (and possibly) multiple item click and dragging...the code must stay xhtml compliant and entirely accessible so no dynamically generated fields, etc....this is simply to act as sugar coating...

enhancing the UI nothing more, nothing less :)

Any suggestions?

I would be tempted to look at some of the libraries out there, prototype or jscript to name but two. If you look them up on the web you should also get examples. Create your pages first with no javascript and then "hijack" the relevant parts to allow "enhancements".

Prototype + Scriptaculous have drag and drop, as does Dojo, and likely most other DHTML/Javascript Effects libraries. Implementations may vary so read the documentation for each to see what their drag and drop implementations are capable of.
