you dont need a grid... you can the id is that of the ones above plus 1 ...
This will not work properly due to ID's conflicting ....
Each time an element is dropped you will need to re-assign id's to each
element...... something like this ...
<div id="container-1"> <!-- Droppable -->
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</div>
onDrop: { // not sure of the syntax as its been a while!!
var i=1;
$$('.someclass').each(function(e) {
var parent_id=$(e).up(1); // get the parent container
$(e).id=parent_id+'_'+i; // gives the new id with using above example
the id's of the Items would be "container-1_1", "container-1_2" and so on...
then on the php end you can easily parse the id's with explode()/split() and
force mysql t use those id's should you need to
i++;
});
}
If this is still not what you are looking for .. then please explain exactly
what it is you are trying to do as the original question seems to be missing
from this thread

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: MySQL - order ID
What I can't understand Walter is why have we written 27 messages
about anything which is not related to the question. And have spend on
that nearly a month not getting even closer to the answer. See
misunderstanding lead us to write answers that we don't need.
But what I think now is: if we can't do that in scriptaculous or
prototype alone, maybe we can try to find some workaround. Like for
example some kind of javascript grid, or point tracker. I don't know,
just so we can say that if you drop an item on line 2, then ID must be
that, on line 4 then ID must be that. That's the only workaround I
think can be found. So maybe we should focus to find something like
that, instead of looking inside of scriptaculous, that does not do
such a thing?
