Adding my 2 cents, allthough at the moment i am not actively working
in any prototype based project.
It seems to me you are complicating the panels.
Imho it would be better if you would seperate the panel content from
any javascript. The ajax request is better used and reusable if it
just returns html and no javascript.
The classes/functions for sortable creation and adding/deleting/moving
should all happen on the main page.
1) your php creates the html source
<div id="mypanels">
<div id="col_panel1" class="panel"></div>
<div id="col_panel2" class="panel"></div>
</div>
2) after page is loaded, your javascript starts and iterates through
all panel divs inside mypanels and calls their ajax controllers (you
seem to use id's here), you update the contents and turn them into
sortables.
3) now you just add create/delete functions and youre done.
