Interesting ideas ... I am trying Mr. Pemberton's idea around changing the layer and who the parent is. Let you know how things go.
P.S. I am not sure about the NS6 problems. I did find and fix a problem with IE6 (you could not open the folder) ... I think I put it in the patches area of Sourceforge for this project. >From: Gabriel J Zimmerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Kurt McCaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Help] Drag And Drop in RiFastSkinTreenode >Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2002 11:32:00 -0500 > > >That sounds like a really cool idea! > >I have been playing with the idea of adding DragDrop capabilities to the >tree menu project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jsmenu), which >would involve turning it from absolute positioning to relative >positioning and making the groupings (i.e. <Image for >child1-3> child1-3) all in one div. > >I was thinking along the lines of making each one its own div and not >worrying about divs within other divs, because it might get hairy. > >What I would recommend offhand is that instead of actually dragging the >div that exists in the tree menu, you create an invisable layer not part >of the tree menu.
