Care to share some of that code so I could try it out?

Subject: Re: igoogle intranet page

Hi,

I'm felling the same pain as you at a same time. It's related to 7-years

old bug in
a firefox where if you pull out an iframe out of DOM (which all JS
drag&drop
libraries do) it resets it's src attribute, hence reload.

I've tried scriptacolus, YUI and jquery.ui without any lucl. Right now
I'm
coding my own dd layou manager that:

* renders all gadgets in a single <div> container with relative layout
* gadget chrome is absolutely positioned
* does not pull out from a DOM when repositioning

Another problem with firefox is that it will not deliver mouse events 
when you
drag over iframes, making for a bad ui experience. This can be solved by

putting
a <div> over all other gadgets and dragging gadget over this div. That 
way iframes
don't swallow mousemove events.

Right now it's kind of working and I can drag gadgets around without any
reloads.

BR,
Vjekoslav Nesek
