Does anyone know of a jQuery library or other which assist is implementing something like iGoogle with it's draggable widgets?
Drag/Drop is easy enough but I imagine there are some things which could be pushed into a extension/addon to jQuery to simplify the process???
What really has me thinking is how to best arrange the widgets. Do you force a fixed width on each and allow up to three columns like Google seems too? At least they do according to the three monitors I've tested on.
Cheers,

Re: Google widgets
jQuery UI has Sortables for creating such interfaces

Re: Google widgets
Ahhh...didn't even think to use sortables for that...I was thinking like a blog management tool maybe or list of images but I suppose it would work for that too...
Only I wonder how much work it would be to get sortables to push down other widgets when dragging from another column...if that is even a problem I don't know...
Thanks though I'll certainly look into it.
p.s-Looks like Google uses YUI. LOL strange.
