Hello all,  
I’m trying my first drag and drop project. Dragging a table row from  
one table to another.

First, get table 1 row to be draggable.  
I looked over several examples of Prototype/Scriptaculous of drag/drop  
and thought I was doing right.  
My problem is after setting it up, no dragging.

## Table 1

```
    <% @imports.each do |import| %>
    <% import_id = "import_#{import.id}" %>
    <tr id="<%= import_id %>" class="draggable_item"

```

style=“cursor:move;”\>

  
  
  
  
  
  
\<%= draggable\_element(import\_id, :revert =\> true ) %\>  
\<% end %\>  

| IRB File |
| --- |
| IRB ID | Title | Pi full name | Action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| \<%=h import.irb\_id %\> | \<%=h truncate( import.title, :length =\> 30 ) %\> | \<%=h import.pi\_full\_name %\> | \<%= link\_to\_function(‘View’,  
‘showDialog(’+import.id.to\_s+’)’ ) %\> | \<%= link\_to\_remote “Find Matches”, :update =\>  
“search\_results”, :url =\> {:controller =\> ‘projects’, :action =\>  
‘search’, :id =\> import.irb\_id } %\> |

I’m not sure what’s wrong.

Thank you for any help.

Oh, another thing.

When I click on the row, the all the text in the row does fade (similar  
to the drag/drop examples). It seems to me that I’m almost there.

Thank you.
