Hi all,

Long time viewer, first time caller... [never mind, it's a pittsburgh thing]

What I'm trying to accomplish is to populate a regular datagrid with
records representing unassigned requests, and then use a repeater to
display grids of current workload requests for a short list of
personnel.  An administrator would drag and drop unassigned requests
into the workload grids, and be able to drag/drop between workload grids
as well for the purpose of balancing/spreading personnel work around.
(Eventually, I want to be able to use shared objects to automatically
update at the client level as well to improve the collaboration, but
that's a different effort.)

I've been unable to find a suitable example or solution that would
demonstrate how one would set the dataProvider for datagrids generated
by a Repeater.  Obviously, if I bind the provider during Repeater
execution it will populate all the grids with the last remote object
call.  (I'm not at all interested in using XML, although even that would
give me a lead.)  From a performance aspect, I'm not positive that the
repeater may not be the best way to go -- although Tracy posted
something that says otherwise in 18378 -- but the workload grids will
generally only be between 3 and 6 in count, and the repeater seems to
handle that quite well from what I've seen so far, plus takes care of
all the nice formatting.  Just so you know, F2 isn't an option right now.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could provide an example of how I
can populate the repeater grids with different remote object calls, and
how I would use the event.target.getRepeaterItem during the drag
function (since I'm not sure how to use that to reference a specific
datagrid id in the repeater array --- did I say that right?).  I think
once I have the former, I could figure out how to get all the other
information I need.  I already know how to pass entire datagrid
structures to ROs for updates, so I just need a friendly jumpstart to
get my head around this Repeater stuff.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated, and I'll post the
working code for others who might be interested as well.

Tom
