Hi everyone. New to the list.
I'm trying to implement a "shelf" with Scriptaculous. I have five boxes
(divs) at the top of my page, to which I would like users to be able to
drag and drop ghosts of various elements (also divs) from the body of
the page. This operation should be a copy, not a move; that is, if the
drag succeeds (i.e., lands on the droppable), the ghosted element should
be permanently attached to the shelf, and its opacity set back to 100%.
If it fails, the ghosted element should revert back to its original
position and vanish.
One further trick is that if the drag succeeds, I want the ghosted copy
to "snap" into place on the shelf, and not end its move sort of hanging
half-in, half-out, wherever the user dropped it.
There's a part 2 to this question, wherein the user can drag things back
out of the shelf into form elements on the page, but I'll save that
until I have this part working.
I found a couple of hints in the list archives, but unfortunately my
limited skills weren't able to make anything of them. The closest thing
I found was Scott Bronson's May 23 post "Dragging a copy of an image and
then reverting," [1] but his example URLs are no longer valid.
Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers.
Cheers,
Ben
