Mark,
Brilliant, that works as desired to drag and drop field contents to and
from tiddler, as requested. I am yet to understand how you have done it.
I love the macros naming *dragon*
Finally I would like to be able drag and drop the order of items in a list
field in the current tiddler.
eg the field list or otherfieldname: one two three
Showing as *one* *two* *three*
and/Or
*one*
*two*
*three*
Where I can drag *three* to the first position *three* *one* two and update
the field-name.
It is the same question from another viewpoint using drag and drop on a
fieldname. Once I can digest your solution I may be able to do this myself,
but if you know any tricks please let me know.
*Thanks so much for your assistance, its invaluable.*
Regards
Tony
