2 questions about drag and drop with Javascript

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to be able to drag random highlighted text or images on a random page that is not written by me, thus I cannot simply wrap the text in a div and make it draggable.

Is there any way to get highlighted text or images on a random page, like say Yahoo, and drop it into a container that can recognize what was being dropped into it (like content and content-type) without it even being an explicitly declared draggable?

I've been playing with jQuery, but can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, David

Answer 1

Directly no, but I wonder if it's possible to copy element and then make it droppable?

Answer 2

Have you tried scriptaculous? There are some demos. It uses prototype rather than jquery though...
