Thank you for the reply Kjell. I've added some stuff inline:

You don't have to worry about X/Y. Scriptaculous dragdrop.js handles all that. The actually "targeting" is performed by the elements (div). There is no limit in depth, layout or anything else.
How would I define where elements can be placed. I used snap and understand how that works. What if I have a box, a div , can I make it so the element can only be dropped into the box or back to it's original place ? I'm guessing that I would use the containment option but unsure who to use it. Right now I have a form where I want to drop the elements. I did a droppable add but not sure if I see anything happening differently.
3- Last tricky thing is I'd like a way to replenish the palette, so > when a text field gets used another would appear. I don't understand what a pallete is. Neither what replenish means (i'm german, pardon), but about the reappearing i can tell that this is quiet easy too. I forgot the name, but there is a option for this within the "Draggable" class .. if the draggable option is set to true the textfield will work as "pile" wherefrom users can drag unlimited textfields from (or whatever you set as draggable). If they drop the current object on a defined 'droppable' the "onDrop" event is your friend to work further with this new type of user input (as described above)
I looked at clone but that only clones until element is released, then clone is destroyed I believe. Stuart _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
