function dragDone(x,y) {
startlayer.moveTo(iX,iY);
alert("Box is done");
if ("java"=="javscript") {
alert("Ask question in comp.lang.java.help");
} else {
alert("Ask question in comp.lang.javascript");
}
}
But if you really want to know, this is what I like to do:
I create a hidden frame, be it an iframe or from a frameset. Have a form in
there that will receive data from the dragDone(x,y) function. Submit the
form to you cgi. This will prevent the main window from submiting the data
(and prevent the user from doing more things). From what I'm guessing, you
may need some way to buffer the input and send larger packets of input
together.
Need help with posting to CGI from javascript
