Chapter 10: AJAX Drag and Drop
When drag & drop capability was first introduced to websites, people looked at it with astonishment. This was really a great feature to provide via your website or application! Since then, JavaScript has evolved in people's eyes from a 'check-out-that-snow-on-my-website' scripting language to a standardized and powerful 'do-powerful-stuff-with-it' language. Many frameworks and JavaScript toolkits have been developed, with new ones appearing frequently. script.aculo.us is one of the most popular JavaScript toolkits, and it allows implementing amazing efects in web pages - check out the examples on its official web page at http://script.aculo.us/.

In this chapter you will learn how to integrate script.aculo.us features into your website, by building an AJAX database-enabled sortable list.
