New Module: HTML::DragDrop
We're looking at releasing our new module HTML::DragDrop. Like the newly released HTML::Tooltip::Javascript, this module uses a Javascript library written by Walter Zorn http://www.walterzorn.com/dragdrop/dragdrop_e.htm. The library provides an elegant way to implement dragable objects (images, div tags etc) in your web page. However, in this case we have extended the library to allow 'containers' in which to catch the dragable objects. The perl module makes this very easy to use from a perl script, for example a CGI script. Following the advice we received for the HTML::Tooltip::Javascript module, we think one of the following names would be appropriate for this module: HTML::DragDrop HTML::DragAndDrop HTML::DragDrop::Javascript HTML::DragAndDrop::Javascript Which name is the most appropriate? Or are there any other suggestions? Regards Becky
Re: New Module: HTML::DragDrop
HTML::DragDrop::Javascript HTML::DragAndDrop::Javascript Is there a way to implement Drag and Drop with HTML /without/ using JavaScript? I suspect not. Thus, I think it could be appropriate to drop 'Javascript' from the name HTML::DragDrop HTML::DragAndDrop Including 'And' in the name is how people usually refer to the technique. However, for a module name I think it may be clear enough to exclude the word 'And' in favor of a shorter name that is 'good enough'. Mark http://www.summersault.com/

I suspect not. Thus, I think it could be appropriate to drop 'Javascript' from the name I'm thinking the same, though it then seems wrong to me. Maybe HTML::Dynamic::DragDrop? Or maybe (the acronym soup for dinner version) HTML::DHTML::DragDrop, which is a tad shorter. Including 'And' in the name is how people usually refer to the technique. However, for a module name I think it may be clear enough to exclude the word 'And' in favor of a shorter name that is 'good enough'. Well, actually it's really drag'n'drop, but DragNDrop looks more than a little ugly, DragnDrop looks awkward. Heh, it *could* actually be ::Drag'N'Drop! (Which is the same as Drag::N::Drop. C.f. the D'oh module.) But, that's not probably a good idea for real code. DragAndDrop looks and sounds a little awkward.. probably DragDrop then.

Re: New Module: HTML::DragDrop
Hello, you all. I suspect that if drag_and_drop depends on javascript, so do tooltip. That's of course in the HTML context. And also, I'm excluding from tooltip the direct, obvious, plain img alt= Please tell me if it isn't so.

Tooltips can be implemented purely in CSS, as documented here: http://www.madaboutstyle.com/tooltip2.html I can't think of how drag'n'drop could be implemented without JavaScript. Mark

* Mark Stosberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-06-24 17:11]: I can't think of how drag'n'drop could be implemented without JavaScript. Not possible. Tooltips are, because using CSS you can define reactions to hovering the mouse over something. But you can't define reactions to clicks.

* Chris Josephes [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-06-24 19:50]: Also, I'm 90% sure there's no other method (besides JavaScript) to implement DD. If some guy down the road manages to do it in VBScript, he can always register Html::DragAndDrop::VBScript. It can certainly be done in VBScript. Anything that's possible in one is possible in the other. Maybe my proposition of ::DHTML:: was not so bad after all?

I think HTML::DHTML would be a great sub-namespace for this sort of stuff. -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/
