Scrolling while dragging?
I'm still working on my prototype, but I've come across something which is an annoyance.
Here is my current proof of concept running on my server: http://www.sfr-inc.com/dice/game_view_matrix.php?Game_ID=1
I have a lot of Ajax (actually Ajah, but...) going on, so give it a moment to fully load.
As an overview: the current functionality is drag, drop, ajax to persist to the DB, then ajax to reload the two areas invovled. I'm using draggables and droppables, rather than a sortable... just because I don't know any better.
You may also click on any of the draggables (the dice) and I'm using FaceBox for an ajax-ed modal dialog because the jQuery dialog functionality gives a 'not implemented' javascript error (I'm using IE6) and facebox is simple.
However, my current issue is with scrolling. You can see this is a rather long page. I have not provided a value for scroll on my draggables, so the default should be on. However, when I click-n-drag a draggable I can't get the main page to scroll down to the bottom droppables.
Am I asking too much of this functionality because of my deeply nested containers?
I'm reworking my UI to be less tall. However, if I'm developing a bad habit in my usage of JQueryUI, I want to correct it now.
