Excellent code, however, i seem to be having some trouble trying to modify the code to limit the user to only drag in the y-axis. if i modify the code, by removing a variable, it seems not to detect drop-targets anymore. any comments to help me?

I thought I clarify my dilema and see if someone can help me! I am trying to use the drag and drop framework to drag an image1 and place it over another image0. I would then like to know the coordinates of where i left the image1. This is so I can save the coordinates in a database and later reposition it. Image0 is a map with regions on it. I would then like to know what region of the map I dropped it in. Example I drop an image on a map of the USA ( Map is one image).  I need to get the coordinates of where I dropped and also get back the name of the State where I dropped it. So far, using the drag and drop frmework, I have been able to drag and drop the image,  and get the coordinates of where I dropped the Image1, but I can not retrieve the name of  the state. I have used the the MAP and Area to define the states but when I drop the image I am not on the MAP object but the IMG object. I played around with the z-index and I do get to the Area object but then my images don't display Can someone help me? or give me a hint?

I would appreciate if someone can help me by giving me a pointer on how i can modify htis code to drop an image onto an AREA. This example drops images into a rectangular area. I am trying to drop an image onto an area in a map. I tried using an IMG with a usemap and can not retrieve what area of the map i dropped the image. Really appreciate teh help Thank You.

I am still interesed in how this framework can be modified to allow a polygon instead of an rectangle to be used as the target where one can drop the dragged item.

Very good example.  Can this functionality be extended across frame boundaries?  Note:  There seem to be some discrepancies in the actual source code and the code listed on the final page.  E.g. in the testOver() function is the following line of code which doesn't make sence.  Typo maybe!?!?!? for (var intLoop=0; intLoop el._top) && (iLeft > el._left) && (iLeft+elDragged.offsetWidth < el.offsetWidth+el._left) && (elDragged.offsetHeight+iTop < el.offsetHeight+el._top)) {
