[Proto-Scripty] Re: Scalable Drag Drop (without noticeable lag)
Eric,
Awesome suggestion thank you! I am now only observing the containers
and deciding what to do based on the event.findElement().
as far as the drag/drop goes, I am actually doing my own version. on
mousedown of the container, I am cloning the element returned by
event.findElement() and attaching it to the cursor (slightly offset so
that the cursor is not over the top of the clone) and then on mouseup
finding the new element and grabbing the info I need to complete the
'drop'.
same goes with observing click: I am only observing click on the
container.
Thanks again!

Hi Scott,
I didn't do much with drag/drop using scripty, but can't you just have
one droppable (in your case it would be $('cats')) and find out which
span was under the mouse when a drop occurs?
In the same spirit, instead of adding a onmouseover event on
each .drag item, you may add one on your body (or on your two ULs if
you prefer), and test if the event happened on one .drag element
(something like if(elt=event.findElement('.drag')) ...).
Last point: I don't know if it is possible, but did you try to create
the draggable on the mousedown instead of the mouseover?
It will save lots of work to the browser (It would require some
tweaks, but I successfully used this technique with
Ajax.InPlaceEditor).

What I usually do is post it inline in the message (as you did), and *also* post it to Pastie.org and provide a link. Thanks T.J. Here's a url to my test code: http://pastie.org/1230063 Anyone got any ideas / suggestions (/improvements on my code)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

Hi, Not much I can do about that i guess. just letting you know I didn't write it that way. What I usually do is post it inline in the message (as you did), and *also* post it to Pastie.org and provide a link. Pastie preserves the formatting correctly. (I've never quite understood the truly bizarre and arbitrary way Google adds linebreaks to code...) FWIW, -- T.J.
