[wdvltalk] RE: drag and drop?
Jon, How do you generate the image at tme moment? is it a database? If so, how about using an UPDATE statement and having an edit button next to each one. I know its not strictly drag and drop, but at least you won't have to cancel it... IFAIK, you would have to embed an ActiveX control (if they're still around? my knowledge of M$ products is hazy these days...) or a Java app to do Drag n drop sucessfully...

[wdvltalk] RE: drag and drop?
I can't recall where this code came from, but this allows any HTML element
that is given the Class=Drag to be dragged around the page:
HTH, Adam
html
head
style
.drag {position:relative;cursor:hand }
/style
script language=JavaScript1.2
var dragapproved=false
var z,x,y
function move(){
if (event.button==1dragapproved){
z.style.pixelLeft=temp1+event.clientX-x
z.style.pixelTop=temp2+event.clientY-y
return false
}
}
function drags(){
if (!document.all)
return
if (event.srcElement.className==drag){
dragapproved=true
z=event.srcElement
temp1=z.style.pixelLeft
temp2=z.style.pixelTop
x=event.clientX
y=event.clientY
document.onmousemove=move
}
}
document.onmousedown=drags
document.onmouseup=new Function(dragapproved=false)
//--
/script
/head
body
p class=drag/p
p class=drag/p
p class=drag/p
p class=drag/p

Hi list,
We've got a table that shows bookings for our various rooms:
http://laughing-buddha.net/tmp/wj-bookings.gif
At the moment, if you want to move a booking, you have to cancel it and
re-book it. It'd be *really* nice if there were some way for users to drag
their booking to where they wanted it.
Any ideas? Any way of doing this easily? It can be IE6 only, if that makes
any difference.

[wdvltalk] RE: drag and drop?
Hi Matt, How do you generate the image at tme moment? does it come from a database? It's a table, not an image (the link I posted is just a screenshot)... but it does come from a database, yes. If so, how about using an UPDATE statement and having an edit button next to each one. At the moment, clicking on a cell with a booking will cancel it - I'd love to provide an edit link but I'm just not sure if there's physically the room for it (there's other stuff on screen as well, that screenshot is heavily cropped) I know its not strictly drag and drop, but at least you won't have to cancel it... Yeah, I might have to live with it as clicking on a booking leads to an edit page where you can also cancel. Perhaps a hunt around MSDN will turn something up... now all I need is some free time in which to hunt :-) Cheers Jon The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Adam, this allows any HTML element that is given the Class=Drag to be dragged around the page: [...] This looks promising, thanks very much! I'll give it a go and let you guys know what I can come up with - don't let that stop you posting if you have any other solutions, though ;-) Cheers Jon The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[wdvltalk] RE: drag and drop?
Hi Ben, I think it can be done. It's definitely an itch that feels *very* scratchable. I know the dragging bit can... but not 100% sure aboitu tracking what element the mouse is over if you're already dragging something. All I need to track is the PK of the booking record that's moving, and whether it can fit in when it's dropped... I'm worried it'll come down to having to track the pixel position of the booking when it's dropped, and then all is lost as it'll be a different place depending on resolution, window size etc. Maybe I can give each td a separate id and work it out that way... hmm... scratches head I hate client-side scripting ;-) Cheers Jon The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could make the whole thing a grid/table (if it isn't already) and use DD to move an image about, then pick up where it was last hovering when dropped. I think it can be done. I know the dragging bit can... but not 100% sure aboitu tracking what element the mouse is over if you're already dragging something. hmm.. intersting. .b Quoting Macdonald-Wallace, Matthew J [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Jon, How do you generate the image at tme moment? is it a database?
