Default Implementing Drag and Drop - 11-16-2007 , 01:58 PM






I would buy this product if the ajax features somehow supported the
implementaion of drag and drop in a way that was simple to use.

I am dabbling in vb.net/asp.net and its version of ajax tools. The support
for drag and drop are not all that good at this time.
I have even bought a book that had a chapter on it. It still takes too much
java hand written code to impliment it.

I also own dreamweaver MX. I use this product to do all my web sites. They all
are home stuff and fun stuff. My wife wants her site to have the user be able
to grab an object and drop it on a specific location and have an event occur.
In her case she wants an animated GIF to fire.

I have turned to vb.net because i am a programmer and use vb.net for
application development. But!!! i am excited about DW cs3. So my question is!!

Does DW CS3 Ajax tools provide a somewhat easy way to impliment drag and drop
without me having to write to much Java by hand?

Thanx up front

Drag and Drop interfaces in javascript are nothing simple. Don't expect any
magic wizards to help you with this.

There are a lot of AJAX/JS libraries. Many have DnD featuers, but they'll
differ from library to library. you're going ot have to do a lot of legwork
and takea look at them all.

I've used Scriptaculous in the past, but have found it limiting. I'm going
to be looking at Jquery UI next.

Java is not involved. JAVASCRIPT is.

DW does not do .net, so you you're going to do .net, you should look at
Visual Studio as your main development IDE.
