Richard,

Fantastic - just what I was looking for!

I now know where the item starts.. however, when it gets to the new
location.. how do I reassociate the item with it's new home.. it seems
to copy across the information.

I'm using the following code to move the item :

        // Move to Cargo function
        function MoveToCargo($item) {
                var $Hanger = $('#Hanger'), $Cargo = $('#Cargo');
                $item.fadeOut(function() {
                        $item.appendTo($Cargo).fadeIn();
                        $item.data("location") == "Cargo";  //this was how I've 
been trying
to reassociate it.. but no joy.
                });
        };

Any ideas?

Tia,
Paul
