Hi guys,
I'm looking to start a personal project - but have no idea where to start!
Take a look at the igoogle website. Basically it's comprised of multiple columns of different sized boxes, that can be easily moved around by the user.
I'm looking for the best/easiest way to create something like that, where the data displayed in the boxes is populated via XML.
Suggestions please?
JQueryUI Seems to be the best way to go about it. The following URLs provide examples of how it's supposed to work, and code to do it.
