Nah, I've only ever just submitted my optimizations in isolation to this list (only a couple times so far)... seems like Thomas has his hands full though since he's not yet responded to any of my suggestions. I don't even bother with the wiki anymore.
DnD has it's place, but you're right, always look for the simplest mechanisms possible... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Haswell Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 4:28 PM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggables and overflow:auto Thanks dude. Did you submit a patch over this? Or was it ignored like every patch I submit. I'll give it a shot, but I've just spent some time working around this problem (but I've run in to it a couple of times). I realised that my application didn't really need DnD, and a button to copy the data would be more usable. Thanks anyway though :-) Hm that's the problem with DnD, If your intended audience is assumed to be competant, there are usually better UIs than dragging elements around the place (if your scope is limited).
