    As I said its ajax and javascript.
    The box moves by javascript, and when you let go of the box. It uses ajax and pings the server and updates the mysql database of the layout of your profile. So the next time you log in (even if you delete all your cookies) will be changed.
    As noted this is highly complicated, you would have to know alot about this stuff do it. (facebook probably hires skilled programmers)
