thanks for the tip
I am pretty unfamilar with javascript..
But for my purposes, I guess I better learn it
I am fairly conversant in a couple of languages so hopefully it won't be too bad
recommend a good book ?
Essentially, I want CMS users to be order their own playlist of multimedia tracks.
Is there any reason not to take a javascript approach ?
because this would be for a CMS only the javascript does not have to work for EVERY browser....
Out of curiosity, are you still using this approach? Or, was it too problematic ?

I've used drag and drop row ordering before. The only PHP I used was to
read a record set and write it out for the different items. The piece
of code I used worked with JavaScript and html. Basically there was a
large div, and each element inside of the main div was a div. It
grabbed the onclick event, grabbed the coordinates of where you're
moving the piece, and when you dropped it, the JavaScript bumped
everything down, or up depending on what you did. I put each item into
a form, then submitted that when the page was finished.
It's pretty simple code if you're good at JavaScript, if not search the internet for a while you'll find some examples. Best of luck.

For those who have netflix, does anyone know how you would recreate their 'drag and drop' queue widget? basically, you can drag and drop movies in the order you choose
is this a combination of javascript and php ? how would you go about creating something like this to order rows in your own CMS ?
extremely cool g
