Drag And Drop - How To Achieve Proper Page Printing
Apr 23, 2010
I'm using Walter Zorn's Drag & Drop script on my page: [URL]. The script works just fine. But there is a problem when the visitors are trying to print out their design. All "draggble" elements are getting shifted in relation to the rest of the page (try to move "draggble" elements, and then go to Print Preview to see what happens). The page layout is centered on the screen:
#maincontainer{margin: 0 auto; /*Center container on page*/}
Drag & Drop script recalculates positions of elements from the Top Left corner. If I change margin to left, than everything prints out just fine, without shifting. I'd like to keep my page layout centered on the screen and I know nothing about Java programming. How to make necessary changes to the Drag & Drop script to achieve proper page printing?

So, what it does: You can successfully drag something anywhere, but when you click it again, it resets to its original position (I don't know why), and when you try to drag it again, as soon as your cursor touches the object it disappears (I don't know why). why it is happening and how to fix it!
// JavaScript Document
var posX;
var posY;
var element;
[Code]....
the html is a simple (position is set to relative):
<p id="square" onmousedown="drag(event)">meep</p>
EDIT: This is the first time I've written javascript code and would like to learn the basics, which is why I am not using a library.

I am using YUI's Drag and Drop utility to add some drag & drop functionality to a CMS I'm building.
This works just fine and is very easy to set up, but the thing I'm wondering about, how do I restrict the dragging? In other words; how can I make sure an element gets dragged within the borders of, say, some div and not outside them?

After a good deal of internal development, I've decided this library will do more good in the wild. It works in IE6, Safari 2, Opera 9, Firefox 1.5, and IE5.5/Mac (sort of buggy behavior with text selection in IE5.5/Mac though). It should also work in virtually any version of Gecko, Opera 6+, Safari 1, and IE5+ (anybody who wants to test those, feel free). The scripting is highly efficient, and only exposes two functions globally, Draggable and Droppable. The below code is licensed under the LGPL, though it is available under other licenses per request.
Let me know if you have any issues with it - this is something I'm interested in maintaining. Also, compared to other scripts, such as script.tac.ulo.us, this is much less code (lots of whitespace/comments could be taken out), and more widely supported across browsers.
Other than below, it can be found here: http://www.jasonkarldavis.com/scripts/dragdropable/dragdropable.html
// dragdropable.js (1.0.1)
//Copyright (C) 2006 Jason Davis, www.jasonkarldavis.com
//This code is licensed under the LGPL:
//http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html
//
// Documentation:
//This script exposes two global variables, Draggable and Droppable. To make an
//element draggable, simply call `Draggable(element)`. This sets the necessary
//CSS properties and event handlers. It also overrides the addEventListener and
//and attachEvent methods (if present) to include the following events:
//onstart(When the element begins dragging)
//ondrag(When the element is being dragged)
//onstop(When the element has stopped dragging)
//You may also assign element.onstart, element.ondrag, and element.onstart to
//add event listeners.
//Lastly, if you need to physically prevent an element from dragging, you may
//call event.preventDefault() from within the onstart handler.
//
//To make an element droppable (have things dragged onto it), call
//`Droppable(element)`. This sets the necessary event handlers and coordinate
//searches. Once again, it overrides addEventListener and attachEvent to
//include the following events:
//onhover(When another element has been dragged over the element)
//ondrop(When another element has been dropped onto the element)
//onunhover(When another element has been dragged off the element)
//As before, you may also set element.onhover, element.ondrop, and
//element.onunhover directly.
//To remove all drop points from the current session, call `Droppable.reset()`.
//
//The event object is also extended with the following properties:
//dragTarget(The element being dragged)
//dropTarget(The element being dropped onto)
//
// Known bugs:
//* removeEventListener and detachEvent do not work with the custom events.
//Workaround: Use direct assignment (element.onevent) instead.
//* There is no way to remove a single drop point.
//Workaround: Call Droppable.reset(), then reinitialize the other drop points.
//* There is no way to remove dragging from an element.
//Workaround: element.onstart = function(event) { event.preventDefault() }
//* Changing position of droppable elements after initialization breaks drop
//Workaround: Static droppables are much faster than moving ones. Either call
//Droppable.reset() and reinitialize often, or ask the author to modify the
//script to account for this (and accept the resulting slowdown)

I am using jQuery Tabs to make an ajax call for each tab when clicked. The ajax that displays is like inettuts. 3 or 4 columns of widgets that can be dragged and dropped. The problem that I am having, when I put the html of the result directly in the main page, it works as designed. When I click on a tab, it displays the page, but all the jquery functions in that ajax page are gone and I cannot sort, drag and drop anything. I suspect that the ajax page is not reading the javascripts in the head, which are on main page. Unfortunately I can't remove them to include them in ajax pages dynamically because I am also using them for other functions in main page. Is there a way to make those ajax pages read the javascripts on that main page?

I am building a web site in html5 and right now i am working in drag n drop some images from one iframe to another.Until now everything worked great.Today i connected my first iframe with my database so all the pictures are taken from there.For this reason, in my code, i create several <div>,each one with id>=1. My code for this is the following:
[Code]...
So,so far i created several <div>s with one class "drag" and different ids starting from 1 until 4. And here start my problems!I have to change my code for the drag and drop functions in javascript in order to create a specific array with objects with id the <div> id.In more details,my code so far:

The Windows common controls include a VBDataObject interface that can be utilized during drag|drop events (as an argument). Retrieving the path of files dropped onto a control is as simple as checking the format of the Data Object for vbCFFIles (constant = 15), and if true, enumerating the Files collection (1-based) for each item (which returns the full path as a string).
The Animation Control is simplest one I've found for demonstrating this:
Some information about that control is here...
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/devprods/vs6/vbasic/vbcon98/vbconusinganimationcontrol.htm)
<html>
<head>
<title>IVBDataObject Demo</title>
<style type="text/css">
fieldset{
text-align:center;
padding:2em
}
object{
width:3em;height:3em;
border:6px double activecaption;
vertical-align:middle
}
textarea{
width:60%;margin-top:1em;
word-wrap:normal;
vertical-align:middle
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend><strong>Drop File(s) ยป </strong>
<object id="IAnimation"
classid="clsid:B09DE715-87C1-11D1-8BE3-0000F8754DA1">
<param name="OleDropMode" value="1">
</object>
</legend>
<label><em>output: </em></label>
<textarea id="output" cols="100" rows="10"></textarea>
</fieldset>
<script type="text/JScript">
function IAnimation::OLEDragDrop(Data){
if(Data.GetFormat(15)){
var O = "";
var e = new Enumerator(Data.Files);
while(!e.atEnd()){
O += e.item() + "
";
e.moveNext();
}
output.value = O;
BackColor=0x80000003;}
}
// Just for visual feedback...
function IAnimation::OLEDragOver(Data, _, _, _, _, _, State){
if (State == 0){
if(Data.GetFormat(15)){Backcolor = 0x80000002;}
}
if(State == 1){Backcolor = 0x80000003;}
}
function window::onload(){
IAnimation.BackColor=0x80000003;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Probably most useful in HTAs, when scripting the FileSystem or Shell objects...
