Hi there, I'm working through the fantastic tutorials, and as is usual I 
have set myself a goal to spur on my learning.  What I am trying to create 
is a system that essentially allows a user to re-order the cells (layers) 
in a column by dragging a cell (layer) up or down. The end result will

1. permit dragging only from a specific grab point, indicated with an icon;
2. allow dragging only in the vertical, regardless of whether the mouse is 
moving left or right;
3. the dragged item stops moving when the boundary is reached;
4. indicates the new insertion point by changing the colour of another 
layer when it is close to a boundary
5. when the order is finalized, the page will shoot out the new order to a 
CGI script.

2 and 3 are what I'm working on now.  For item 2, I am able to create a 
child layer inside another layer, but I can't restrict the layer's drag and 
drop characteristics to the vertical only.  For item 3, when a layer is 
being dragged, and meets up with the limits set with setDragBoundary, the 
clipping occurs but the layer keeps moving. Is there a way to stop a layer 
from moving, once it reaches a given boundary?

Any tips are more than welcome! ;)

...Mike
