<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">For Instant access to JavaScript
resources, I've used the pay Safari online book service at O'Reilly,
they have up-to-date Javascript titles, and maybe some AJAX
(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) titles as well. <br>
<br>
The specific functionality that you mentioned is very difficult, drag
selection, drag and drop, and target behavior. Multiplied by the
number of supported browsers.... Heavy duty client-side AJAX or Flash,
I would think.... and an awful lot of bleeding edge browser coaxing.
And when that's done, then have it talk to Zope. <br>
<br>
Either way, you won't get those answers here. Find a Advanced
Javascript or AJAX list for best results.<br>
<br>
Good Luck,<br>

[Zope] about mouse interactions..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div id="RTEContent">Hi... </div>
<div>This is probably not much about zope, but I want to do make a
web page that does mouse drag query that query the zodb for information.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For example... I have a picture and I want my mouse to be able
to point a single point or drag a selection box and what ever is
selected will make a new web page and with table about its information.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would anyone give me some pointers about how I could
accomplish this? what docs or books I should read?</div>
