Brian: That's OK for now. Eventually, I'll let you drag out of there into a 'trash can' div to delete items from the right.
I should explain the purpose of the UI to begin with: The left side are 'image storage folders'...just directories of uploaded photos. This is based on the file system. The right side is what we're calling a 'portfolio'. It's a collection of various photos from the various folders on the left. These are just DB records that point to said images in the file system. The idea is that you can pick from any of the images in any of your work folders, and then drag them over to your 'portfolio' to organize them into separate presentations. It's working, for the most part, aside from these UI issues that are bugging me a bit. The big issue is #3, if I can resolve that, I'll be a happy camper. The others would be nice to resolve, but not mission critical or anything. -Darrel On Jan 29, 2008 10:00 AM, Brian Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I hate to add to your list but it appears in FF 2.0.0.11, at least for me > anyways - once you drag an item to the right... you can't get it out... > > > > > > On Tue, Jan 29, 2008 at 9:52 AM, darrel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > (Apologies if this has come through already.
