Q: 

Drag and Drop between Multiple Lists and Sortable

Hi,

Wondering if people could please point me to a plugin/website that is jQuery, which will do what this Dojo example does, i.e:

http://dojocampus.org/explorer/#Dojo_Drag%20And%20Drop_Lists

I am wanting something similar to this as I would like to use as a means of allowing a user to administer a menu structure.

Unless someone can recommend another means.

Thanks. T.

You're probably looking for the Draggable and Droppable features in jQuery UI.

Have a look at JQuery UI sortable and the connectwith feature. I've used this and it just works.

Thanks Richard - just want to ask a few more queries: 1) can I create multiple containers on the fly, where I can drag and drop items into it? 2) how easy is it store this info into an Oracle database? 3) I also need a means of retrieving all info back again from database - is this possible?

Have a look at the serialization method. I use that to send the result back to the server. Creating containers is a matter of setting the connectwith which can be done 'on the fly'. I haven't tried multiple destinations, but the best way to find out is to give it a go. I'd dummy something up and play with it, it's not that difficult.

No probs - thanks again Richard.
