- I have a list of icons at the top of my page in a panel called Tools where each icon represents a

  function. This panel will not be apart of the web page when it is published.

- Each icon when dragged and dropped on to the design surface, will create an HTML element.

      

I have been able to drag and drop icons onto the design surface by following examples I have seen in various online video tutorials. However, once dropped I am not able to interact with the objects again. Also I tried giving each dropped object an ID so that I can style them later but for some reason the assignment of the IDs do not work.

Please suggest a solution if you can think of any, thanks.
