Portlet Drag and Drop

[Richard Schwerdtfeger]

Are there plans to mark this up with ARIA landmarks? uPortal should be set
up so that landmarks are assigned.

Hi,

I know there has been some conversation about the best user experience
for reordering portlets. I thought it would be useful if I built an
example to show the alternate user experience.

You can see the new experience here:
http://build.fluidproject.org/sakai-imagegallery-tool/sample-code/reorderer/portal/portalWithAvatarClone.html

and the original experience here:
http://build.fluidproject.org/sakai-imagegallery-tool/sample-code/reorderer/portal/portal.html


One of the problems with the new example is that it also showcases one
of our evil bugs. :)  The bug is that the drop target shows up
somewhere but the portlet drops elsewhere.
http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-407  It's quite a tricky
little bug from a technical standpoint because the underlying problem
is that we are getting browser events in the wrong order.  We have a
strategy for working around this issue but it is quite complex and
will take a while to implement.

Michelle
