Drag and drop

NZ_Kiwis

I have a page where I have a large number of divs displayed in a table format (rows and columns).

On top of this table through absolute positioning I want to place another div, this div I want to drag and drop into another div...

How can I do this??

Jquery's - UI's sortable plugin.
You are not going to be able to do this only in PHP.
Jquery is for client side.
PHP is for server side.

This sounds fairly elaborate to me. Certainly not impossible, but will require tight cooperation between CSS and Javascript. I would encourage the use of JQuery and suspect RBrown might be on the right path by suggesting an existing item.

If you end up doing it yourself, be prepared to spend a good amount of time figuring it out. You also might want to take into account touchscreen events (which don't involve a mouse at all).

I recommend you to take a look at some PHP AJAX frameworks such as Cjax and TiggerMouse, with them you can write PHP code only without worrying about the javascript part since these third party script will generate JS for ya.
