A cross-browser JavaScript DHTML Library which adds Drag Drop functionality and extended DHTML capabilities to layers and to any desired image, even those integrated into the text flow. To convert images or layers into draggable DHTML items, simply pass their names/IDs to the library's main function SET_DHTML().
Optional commands allow to change and customize the behaviour of Drag&Drop items in multiple ways. For example, you can limit how far a drag&drop item can be moved, specify the cursor, or multiply drag'ndrop images. The DHTML API of this DHTML Drag&Drop JavaScript is easily understandable. It provides methods to moveTo(), resizeTo(), hide() and show() again drag and drop elements, or to copy() images right within the textflow of your page dynamically, and much more.
Each DHTML item has properties such as x, y, w, h, z, defx, defy, defw, defh, defz (co-ordinates, size, z-index, and their initial default values, respectively) plus multiple others, which you can read whenever desired. For instance, to store the current position of a drag&drop item, you might write its x and y properties into a <input type="hidden"> form element, from where you could transmit them to the server. For more details, see the DHTML API and commands reference.
