<DIV></DIV>I quite agree, Ajax has done a lot to introduce drag and drop effects
onto the browser. <BR><BR>BTW, with Novell NetStorage .. .there is a very cute
workaround that lets users drag a file or collection of files (even a folder)
from the desktop, right onto a remote folder in a browser. I must show it off to
you one day. I used it during the commonwealth games to remotely backup the
uniform photographs that I was taking when somebody nicked my USB key. One of
those cute features that we didn't know was on our Network until it was pointed
out to me. <BR><BR>Regards Roland<BR><BR>
