Q: 

(Ruby,Rails) Multiple simultaneous drag-and-drop items...?

Hi All,

I'm looking for a mechanism in Rails by which to facilitate multiple drag-and-drop items simultaneously. Basically I want to select multiple and drag. Obviously I'd prefer to stick with standard HTML items and javascript, but if this isn't possible I'll consider a straightforward Flash implementation.

Thoughts?

A: 

This wouldn't be Rails, it would be Javascript (jquery, mootools and the like) or Flash.

Understood. I realize ultimately it's *all* Javascript. I was simply hoping there were Rails wrappers for Scriptaculous, etc. that would facilitate such functionality.

Unfortunately I don't think there are any Rails wrappers for something like this. (99.5% sure.)

A: 

By default Scriptaculous doesn't support this, but there are a few extensions floating around out there that might accomplish what you need. Try this one, for example.

Very nice. Any idea as to how to get this wired up for wrapper-style use in a Rails app?
