[development] Drag and Drop UI standards

24 Jan 2007

      All-

Now that we have jQuery in Drupal, there are all sorts of drag-and-drop
interface possibilities.

Questions, too, by the look of http://drupal.org/search/node/drag+and+drop.

I've been working on one for my project, using the interface jQuery plug-in,
and have a two simple questions:

1) Do we have any best-practice guidelines on using drag-and-drop?

2) Specifically, if the action requires saving the state change, should that
save be automatic (on-drop) or user initiated (extra button or link
on-click)?
