    Does anyone know how to develop the sort of functionality that Google use in their Notebook application/service? You are able to grab a paragraph of text, and move it to a different part of the page. They use dotted outlines on the page to let you know where it will land if you drop it.

    If you do know, please let me know where to look to get started. I'm guessing it's DHTML but I'm not sure, as I don't know DHTML.

    Thanks

    It's done with Javascript. You can simplify the task by using a third party library like script.aculo.us or Yahoo UI.
