[Zope] about mouse interactions..

[Jonathan Cyr]

For Instant access to JavaScript resources, I've used the pay Safari 
online book service at O'Reilly, they have up-to-date Javascript titles, 
and maybe some AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) titles as well.  

The specific functionality that you mentioned is very difficult, drag 
selection, drag and drop, and target behavior.  Multiplied by the number 
of supported browsers.... Heavy duty client-side AJAX or Flash, I would 
think.... and an awful lot of bleeding edge browser coaxing.  And when 
that's done, then have it talk to Zope. 

Either way, you won't get those answers here.  Find a Advanced 
Javascript or AJAX list for best results.

Good Luck,

Jon Cyr
