All this was a result of some twisted desire to make table rows drag+drop resortable with dom/javascript magic.

After all the CSS quirks were addressed, I discovered that the scriptaculous drag+drop functions would slow down or lock up the browser when there were too many elements to sortable. Ugh. Now, I'm working on writing my own leaner drag and drop script which will hopefully run more quickly. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm not sure if I am any stronger, but I did lose a few handfuls of hair in the process.

You might want to look at the Drag & Drop module of the Yahoo User Interface libraries <http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/dragdrop/>. I've never used this feature, so I can't tell you if you will run into the same problems, but it might be worth a look.
