Hey everyone,
I’m putting together a small application so to help my father “drag and drop” names of books onto an area, have the list look nice and pretty, and be able to print it.
I found the following on Flashkit.com by someone that obviously knows a ton more than I can ever learn, and thank him for getting me started, however I dont know how to modify it to fit my needs.
Problem:
Need a master list of books, and a blank placeholder. He should be able to drag names from the master list and drop it onto the blank list. As he does so, each name should be added to the list in a nice manner, “sticking” in place, etc. If by mistake he adds a book to the list and wants to remove it, he should be able to drag that name out of the list and back to the master list. The list should then adjust to fill in the gap, i.e. move items up or down as needed to patch the blank spot where the mistake was.
Answer:
Found a script that does just that. But, because the list of books can be pretty long and space on the page is limited (as a bunch of other stuff will need to go on this page too), I want the master list to be opened onto a pop-up window, have him drag stuff in and out of it, then close it. The script I have does not have that… either should be able to open master list in a popup or have it draggable, so at least we can move it out of the way once we’re done.
Please see take a look and recommend something. I am a beginner and doing this for my father… I shouldn’t have probably volunteered, but I did!!
