Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

Draggable IFRAMEs

Matt Kruse's JavaScript Toolbox is awesome. So good, in fact, that I've actually made a donation (small, but nevertheless, a donation). Today, I noticed a new script: Draggable IFRAMEs. I dig it. Don't know that I'll ever use it, but I've always liked drag n' drop examples for the web. While they are cool, I've found that sometimes a true popup window is much easier.

I just wanted to say that I love your blog. You keep putting up neat stuff like this, so I don't have to go around looking for it. Nice! :-) ...On something different, I wish the neat comments you have displayed with my browser. I'm using the latest version of IE6, with WindowsXP, and I get a little "Access is Denied" javascript error and no actual display of comments when I click the drop-down thingy. :-(

Thanks! As for comments: If you click cancel, it should route you to the fallback comments but I guess it doesn't. I've seen this error before too. It doesn't seem to happen on Joe Hewitt's blog, I wonder what he's doing different.

I find that the qForms API to be very usefull for anything related to forms or form validatation.

I know you used some sort of xml thingy with the page - what I want to know is:
Why not simply put the comments inside the div tag that hides them? That's all I did on my weblog app. If you worry about bandwidth problems, I was thinking about putting it in an IFrame which doesn't load until the comment is actually viewed.

Paul - the honest truth is I really like the comments on Joe Hewitt's blog, so I implemented them in Roller. You are absolutely correct that this could be easily done with a div and an iframe - in fact it is, but the comments are loaded from an external file.

It could probably be done easier using my own implementation, rather than Joe's - but right now, I just don't care - I've got twisty comments working (though buggy) and don't really have a need (or desire) to improve them. Of course, being up since 4 this morning and working all day on this damn computer has made me kinda bitter ;-)

I might want to improve these comments someday, but for now, there's bigger fish to fry (searching, validation, tiles, moblogger, etc.).

I'd be interested in seeing your implementation of comments on your weblog app - maybe you could submit a patch to Roller and we could add "PaulRivers" comments as an option! :-D

Not only can you drag and drop Iframes but also make them act just like windows on your desktop by playing with the z-Order. few years ago i built a framework called Windows on web. i will see if i can dig out a full sample and show it on http://www.Websitetips.eu for you to have a play with. it has a bit of javascript to make the window move towards the bottom of the screen and get smaller as the window is minimised. Great fun to play with and i have not seen it sone since.
