drag and drop then add to list

[derwent]

I have found this superb script at

http://demo.script.aculo.us/shop

that allows the user to drag an item into a box that then acts as a shopping cart. Unfortunately this script uses Javascript and Ruby on rails, which I do not know (I know asp).

After a little research I found this shopping site

http://www.panic.com/goods/

with something very similar.

Does anyone know of a free javascript script that will allow me a create something whereby you drag items into a box that then adds the items? I do not need it as a shopping cart but as a selector for our intranet. Thanks

you need to do a little reasearh on AJAX, wich is how your are able to do the drag and drops..

here are a few sites you might want to look..

AJAX has nothing to do with dragn-and-drop. AJAX is for communication with a server. Drag-and-drop on a web page is all done with javascript and css. Check out the Dojo Javascript Toolkit. They have a javascript library that includes a lot of cool stuff, including exactly the kind of drag-and-drop that you mention. You can also find drag-and-drop functionality in Mochikit
