There's nothing built in that does this directly (i.e., no parameter you can set which makes it work) but I have built things like this using the P/S drag and drop system. The way I usually make it happen is integrated with the server, so not entirely within the browser. You could make it all happen in the browser, but my applications so far have required that the cloned objects actually proxy for a "real" object in my system.

Can you say a little more about your two lists? What do you want list2 to look like after a successful drop? You say you want list2: { xx, bb, yy, zz }, but as long as bb is still in list1, that's illegal, because you can't have two things on the page with the same ID. You could have list2: { xx, bb_1, yy, zz } for example...

Hi,

I'm trying to evaluate javascript libraries that allow you to do drag
and drop, looking at scriptaculous now.

I have two lists, like this:

 list1
    aa
    bb
    cc

 list2
    xx
    yy
    zz

is it possible in scriptaculous to drag an item from list1, say 'bb',
and drop it in list2, but instead of removing it from list1, a clone
is made and inserted in list2? That way the result is:

  list1: { aa, bb, cc }     list2: { xx, bb, yy, zz }

Other than that I just need the general dnd stuff, like I need to be
able to reorder the elements in both lists by dragging.

I tried using jquery-ui, but it doesn't allow this cloning behavior.
It only allows you to move items between lists.

Thanks
