Re: Cross-Browser Drag & Drop

I guess what I was trying to say but failing at was that NW includes 
this level of "drag and drop" support for any component which has a 
dragable node, which is to say it can be positioned via the mouse 
drag-and-drop paradigm. What NW doesn't currently support is the 
logical side of that in which a component that is "dropped" will tell 
what it is "dropped on" about it's properties and interfaces in such 
a way as to allow the "receiver" to do something with that component 
(from the GUI file manager perspective, this could be moving or 
copying files).

Does that clear it up?
