[Proto-Scripty] Re: Multiple droppables in overflowed div!
Dear David, All
Successful, thank you for the tips on browser compatibility issue and
yes [Position.includeScrollOffsets = true;] is the key plus adding
scroll capability of the parent container. Glancing over the posts
with craving of wanting to know more fast, wishing it was possible to
hire you & T.J. Crowder as personal tutors and other great minded
javascriptors.
Honoured for the time, now time to take a dive into posts!

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Multiple droppables in overflowed div!
About the idea of using table ==> could be interresting, but IE have
some trouble with it !!!
About usability:
the problem is that while dragging, you should scroll to drop in the
fourth droppable, I personnaly think that people will don't have the
idea to do this even if there is a scrollbar, but I can be wrong.
So instead, I should use an automatic scrolling (perhaps on the onDrag
event fire by the droppabe/Draggable, and detect if your inside the
droppable area, and see where you are inside this droppable area, and
if you are at the bottom of the visible view, just change position to
scroll down automatically.
Just one thing, You could revert your change in scriptaculous, that
works too.
Another point while doing some test (I'm not what I consider a
javascript PRO, so try to learn while helping), with the
Position.includeScrollOffsets set to true, if you are on the Draggable
zone, and the Droppable is scrolled, you could still drop on the first
and second element ==> Funny. It seems that scriptaculous did not wait
to be on the Droppable area to test if mouse pointer is on a
element !!

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Multiple droppables in overflowed div!
Hi Isaac,
I've resolve your problem, I did not have the same version of
scriptaculous as you, but afetr modifying what you change, here is how
it works:
The problem was that the Draggable/Droppable method use
Position.within to verify if the mouse pointer is on an element or
not.
This function could use scrolled offset or not with the parameter:
Position.includeScrollOffsets which is set to false by default, just
apply the change on the for loop to use $R instead as I first
mention.
And set Position.includeScrollOffsets=true
==> now it work as you expected.
btw, Don't worry, As I say I do help in this group in my spare time,
but I WANTED it !!!
