Thanks Simon, but I'm really new to jQuery - I think I know how to
call a function from the drop handler:
$("#dropper").droppable({
accept: "#dragger",
drop: dropped()
});
function dropped(){
// do stuff
}
But what do I have to put in the dropped function that actually
accesses rails? You seem to be using $.post, but I don't really know
how this works. Also, I've seen other examples use $.load, and again,
I don't quite get how it works.
Is there any good documentation on this?
cheers again,
DAZ
