I think this is directly related to the USER INTERFACE for an application I am trying to create.. I'm not sure I can be more specific than to say: What I'm trying to accomplish is to place three circles (images) in a rectangular box and allow a user to move each of the circles anywhere in this rectangular box--but be locked within the box--occupying about 70% of the screen. I want to capture the amount of time each circle is selected (cumulative if they are selected multiple times) and the total distance each is moved--no matter how they zig and zag or circle. I want to be able to calculate the distances between the center of each circle and the centers of the other two when they all have been moved where the user wants to place them finally (actually, I would really like to capture the distances continuously from the time a user starts until the user clicks finished, but I'll add this in version 2). I have downloaded and tested wz_dragdrop ( http://www.walterzorn.com/dragdrop/dragdrop_e.htm), but I have not yet gotten it to work correctly. But now I think Jquery is a better bet. I want the circles to be fairly small but big enough to contain a recognizable image of a human face. I also want them to be perfect circles including the background. I have not been able to figure out to create an image with a perfectly circular background. Circular images are no problem. The closest I have come to circular backgrounds is squares with rounded edges. If you come across something that might help with any of these please let me know
