> Hi everyone-
>
> Have any of you ever used the Scriptaculous JavaScript library with
> fx.php on any web applications? http://script.aculo.us/
> If you aren't familiar with Scriptaculous, it contains all sorts of
> visual effects and a bunch of different drag-and-drop effects.
> The visual effects were quite simple to implement, but now I'm quite
> interested in using the drag-and-drop effects.
>
> I found a page by Greg Neustaetter that contains a PHP wrapper he wrote
> to work with the scriptaculous sortables.
> http://www.gregphoto.net/sortable/
>
>  From Mr. Neustaetter's site: "My PHP class has a function that knows
> how to understand the scriptaculous serialized string and translates it
> into a simple PHP array with the items and there order. Once I have
> this, it's easy to do things like submit the new order to a database. If
> you click the submit button, you can see the update statements I would
> send to the database. Clicking the 'View Serialized Lists' will fill the
> inputs with the serialized lists."
>
> I'd like to do something like this on a project I'm working on.  First,
> I want the user to be able to define a set of "categories." (around 8)
> Then, I'd like to present these "categories" in a drag-and-droppable
> list that the user can arrange in any way they desire - then submit the
> new order through a submit button.
>
> Do any of you have any experience with this?
>
> There are many brilliant minds on this list - so if any of you have any
> experience doing something like this or may be able to help brainstorm a
> way to use this with fx.php, that would be really great.
>
> Thanks in advance!
