Hi All,

I am trying to implement a Move command and am having some problems, 
has anyone got any suggestions about how to make them work better?

Here are the commands:

  <button toolTip="Move Up" icon="../icons2/up.gif">
    <command name="moveUp" />
  </button>
  <button toolTip="Move Down" icon="../icons2/down.gif">
    <command name="moveDown" />
  </button>

  <command name="moveUp">
    <macro>
      <sequence>
        <command name="cut" parameter="[implicitElement]" />
        <command name="paste" parameter="before[implicitElement]" />
      </sequence>
    </macro>
  </command>

   <command name="moveDown">
     <macro>
       <sequence>
            <command name="cut" parameter="[implicitElement]" />
         <command name="moveDotTo" parameter="nextElement" />
         <command name="paste" parameter="after[implicitElement]" />
       </sequence>
     </macro>
   </command>

Here is some sample XML:

                <chapter type="simple" link="st_1" label="story">
                        <meta>
                                <title>YOUR TITLE</title>
                                <desc>YOUR DESCRIPTION</desc>
                        </meta>
                        <p>paragraph one</p>
                        <p>paragraph two etc.</p>
                        <contact link="co_1" label="contact details">
                                <desc>For further information please contact: 
</desc>
                                <who>WHO TO CONTACT</who>
                                <org>Institute of International Visual 
Arts</org>
                                <addr>6-8 Standard Place, Rivington Street, 
London EC2A 3BE</addr>
                                <email>SOMEONE at iniva.org</email>
                                <tel>020 7729 9616</tel>
                        </contact>
                </chapter>


How they behave:

        1) select <org/> click Move Up, and it moves above <who/> : Good!
        2) select <org/> click Move Down, and it moves below <addr/> : Good!
        3) select <desc/> click Move Up, and it disappears : Bad!
                <desc/> is not allowed in <chapter/> so it cannot paste here.
        4) select <tel/> click Move Down, and nothing happens : Good!
                <tel/> is not allowed in <chapter/> so it cannot paste here.
        5) select <p/>[1] click Move Up, and it disappears: Bad!
                meta/desc is left with the text selection.
                <p/> is not allowed inside <meta/> or outside <chapter/>
        6) select <p/>[1] click Move Down, and it moves below <p/>[2]: Good!
        7) select <p/>[2] click Move Down, and it disappears: Bad!
                the text selection ends up in contact/desc (!?!)
                <p/> is not allowed in <contact/> but should go after it


Can anyone suggest how I can refine these commands further so as to get 
rid of the glitches in behaviour?

Many Thanks

regards Jeremy
