SUBJECT: [YDN-JAVASCRIPT] RE: DD €€œ DRAG AND DROP WITH THE "DROPPED" ELEMENT ON TOP?

HI DAV,

I MUST ADMIT THAT I AM REAL NEWBIE TO JS, SO YOUR ADVICE IS PRETTY
TRICKY FOR ME HOW DO I KEEP TRACK OF THE HIGHEST ZINDEX? COULD YOU
PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME OR GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE FROM THE YUI LIBRARY
WHERE STH. SIMILAR HAPPENS AND IS DESCRIBED?

MY PLAN WAS/IS TO COMBINE "DD €“ STAYING IN A REGION&QUOT; + "DD WITH THE
DRAGGED/DROPPED ELEMENT ON TOP" + "8-WAY ELEMENT RESIZE&QUOT; TO SOME KIND
OF CONTAINER WITH IMAGES WITHIN IT WHERE YOU COULD DRAG & DROP THEM,
RESIZING THEM IN ORDER TO TAKE A LOOK ON THE PICTURE'S DETAILS... I
WANTED TO CREATE A DIFFERENT WAY FROM A COMMON IMAGEVIEWER (E.G.
PHOTOVIEWER BASED ON YUI, SIMILAR TO LIGHTBOX IS A GOOD SOLUTION), AN
AREA WHERE ONE COULD PLAY AROUND WITH THE IMAGES.

I MEAN THAT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH THE COMPONENTS PROVIDED IN YUI,
SHOULDN'T IT? ANOTHER QUESTION IS IF IT MAKES SENSE. WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT IT DAV?

CHEERS, KLAUDIUSZ

Yeah, this is a very nice example of all that functionality I wanted
to provide in my task. The only thing I miss is that the dropped
element would stay on top.

Cheers, Klaudiusz

Hi Dav,

thank you very much for the example you provided!
On your page it works like it should work but when I tried to let it
run locally on my computer after downloading all the files from your
example with FireFox I had the old problem, the dropped element
doesn't stay on top.

Could you please take a look on my file:
http://www.szatanik.eu/js/yui_2.5.0/examples/_tests/DAVs_Image_editor.html

Maybe one more "little" (if it's really so little? thing/change.
Would it be possible for you to change the script that way:
The element stays on top not only after dragging and then dropping it
but also when you just click on it. In the manner GUI-windows in e.g.
OSX behave when you have several of them on the desktop and the
&quot;active&quot; (the clicked) one is always on top. I mean such a behavior
would also help the other examples on your blog e.g. that one with
multiple panels...

Cheers, Klaudiusz
