Comments on: Dragging and dropping table rows in Javascript

Hello everyone,

Loved the code that drag and drops rows.
The only thing I have an issue with is in “Bells and whistles
“. The “two separate tables on the same page” is actually one table.
Unfortunately that is what I am trying to accomplish for some time now:
allow the moving of a row from one table to another. What exmpples I found, using scriptaculous, work only on Firefox.
My efforts proved to be useless so far and unfotunately time is an issue.

Any advice?

Thank you,
Brindu

Hi, I saw your script and love it! I was able to implement it but I am not sure of how to pass the new order to the next page. Can you help? I’m not a newbie…well…in this case I am.

Thanks

Hi tried your code for drag and drop.
Somehow, the line is causing problems for me. If I dont use this (below the tag) I do not get the selector mouse (crosshair) to drag a row. What should I do to get rid of this. I am making a mock up which would be only in my laptop and not on any server. I am using a Mac, will it matter? HELP !!

Great plug-in! I fixed the multiple tbody error by altering the following lines - hope this helps: Line #226 (added try/catch to suppress the error if any):

 try {
    jQuery.tableDnD.dragObject.parentNode.insertBefore(jQuery.tableDnD.dragObject, currentRow.nextSibling);
 } catch(e) {
 }

Line #228, same:

try {
  jQuery.tableDnD.dragObject.parentNode.insertBefore(jQuery.tableDnD.dragObject, currentRow);
} catch(e) {
}

Hi,

Does anybody have experience in writing classic ASP code using JQuery and this great plugin to update an Access database with the new sorting order (one table)?

Any help appreciated (even paid for).

Thanks!

Hi there,

I’ve been trying to find a fix for the different row heights but with no luck.

If anybody could help me with a solution, that would be awesome.

Thank you,

Hi DenisH,

I’ve put some debugging information and I believe that the problem is when it calculates the other rows position. I’m going to see what I can come up with a solution and I’ll definitely post it here.

Thank you for responding to me and keep up the great work.
