thanks for the help but you were right it should work - i just had a typo :)
next issue............
tying to get it to hit a function onDrop, but its not working correctly. i
was given this way of doing it last week on this board. when i load the
page w/ FF i get "dropAction is not defined"
dropAction: function(draggable, droppable) {
alert("DROPED:" + draggable.id +" ON " + droppable.id);
}
. . .
Droppables.add("drop_List'",{hoverclass:"highlightField",accept:["draggable"],onDrop:dropAction});
