Nevermind...
        For some reason I always miss the obvious.

I needed element.parentNode.id as in:
        Droppables.add('myDropB',
                                                                        {
                                                                                
accept:'draggable',
                                                                                
onDrop:function(element, dropped){
                                                                                
        alert (element.parentNode.id);
                                                                                
}
                                                                        }
                                                                );

I am not sure how many of you are using draggables/droppables but I thought I would do some experimentation and try and learn how to use them on my own.

Well, I have draggables, and I have droppables.

I do have one question for now.

The droppable onDrop event seems to pass in 2 objects, the dropped object, and the container the object was dropped on. My question is this, can I figure out the container the dropped object came from?

For example:
        1 draggable (id: myDraggable)
2 divs (ids: myDropA, myDropB) which are both droppables accepting the draggable
        myDraggable starts as a child of myDropA
        I move myDraggable from myDropA to myDropB
At this point in the myDropB onDrop, I want to know about myDropA, myDropB and myDraggable. Currently I think I can only see myDropB, and myDraggable
        

Feel free to ask questions if this makes no sense. It is after all my first script.aculo.us drag/drop thingy-ma-bob.
