Ajax Accordion and draggable/droppable

Ajax Accordion and draggable/droppable

Hi all,

I am fairly new to JQuery and work with ASP/Ajax and Javascript most of my time. I do like the way that JQuery is so succint and compact and I am beginning to use it more and more.

I have a site that is based upon a treevew but want to be able to show more information to the user so have an Ajax Accordion.

I want to be able to drag and drop data from one pane in one accordian and drop to the other.

after 2 days trying to get _something_ working I am getting close but I really don't think I will get there.

On drag I lose the dragging view, it may be because its white on white but then after a few drags the droppable area doesn't receive any longer.

Because of the way that ASP builds the mark up, I cannot wrap a dive around a pane so the pane remains.

I don't want the dragged div to "move" I want it to "copy" but using

helper: 'clone'

stops my droppable area from receiving at all.

I can't switch to a JQuery Accordion because there is a lot of data to massage from the server to display the Accordion in the first place and a lot of procesing to do when a drop takes place that I need to do server side.

What I really need to know is whether I should continue down this path.

Has any one else tried this and given up or better still had resounding success !?

thanks all,

jON
