[Javascript] Dragged layers interfere with link though hidden/behind

[Christophe Lancian]

Rodney,

May I suggest you to have a look at the following adresses. There you will find very good examples of drag & drop scripts and maybe some help.

http://troistudio.free.fr/membres/tronches.html (french page with a quite good example of drag &drop)

http://www.bratta.com (english site about dhtml, very useful)

Hope it will help you...

Cheers,

> Dan's .js files are unmodified.

> The basket image is linked to a dummy version of the reviewbasket()
> function, which works as a simple alert.

> The video images are duplicated with static and draggable layers so when

> in the basket a test version of the nbasket entry function newchoice()
> is fired showing in an alert the data to be sent to the basket.

> At this point the dragged layer becomes hidden. You can also see from
> the way it goes "into" the basket that the z-index of the basket is
> higher than the dragged layers.
> 
> Nevertheless in Netscape 4.7 (Windows) (NOT in MSIE 5.5) the position of
> the hidden dragged DIV layer interferes with the link to the
> reviewbasket() function. The link may show up in the status bar but it
> cannot be activiated while the cursor is on the overlap area.
