    <h2>Background</h2> <p>I am attempting to drag-and-drop a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> element inside an <code>&lt;input&gt;</code> using the jQuery UI Draggable and Droppable components. At the moment, I have to place the caret in the position I would like the text to appear in and then drag-and-drop the <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> in to the <code>&lt;input&gt;</code>.</p> <h2>Question</h2> <p>I'm not 100% sure if this is possible to do but what I want to do is to have the caret update its position automatically as I drag the <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> between the text of the <code>&lt;input&gt;</code>. </p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Seany84/pnRyY/" rel="nofollow">jsFiddle example here...</a></p> <h2>CSS</h2> <pre><code>.draggable { width: 250px; height: 20px; background-color: #e6eaff; border: 2px solid #3399cc; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 4px; cursor: default; } .active { border: 2px solid #6699ff; } #droppable { font-size: 14pt; width: 400px; } #droppableHolder { margin-top: 5em; } </code></pre> <p>​</p> <h2>HTML</h2> <pre><code>&lt;div class="draggable"&gt;Text 1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="draggable"&gt;Text 2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="draggable"&gt;Text 3&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="draggable"&gt;Text 4&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="droppableHolder"&gt; Drop in the text box below:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="droppable" value="INSERT ANYWHERE" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;​ </code></pre> <h2>Javascript</h2> <pre><code>$(".draggable").draggable({ revert: true, //revert: false, helper: 'clone', start: function(event, ui) { $(this).fadeTo('fast', 0.5); //$(this).css('cursor', 'text'); //$(this).hide(); }, stop: function(event, ui) { $(this).fadeTo(0, 1); //$(this).show("explode", { pieces: 16 }, 2000); } }); $("#droppable").droppable({ hoverClass: 'active', drop: function(event, ui) { //this.value += $(ui.draggable).text(); //alert($("#droppable")); insertAtCaret("droppable", $(ui.draggable).text()); }, over: function(event, ui) { //$(this).css('cursor', 'text'); } }); function insertAtCaret(areaId,text) { var txtarea = document.getElementById(areaId); var scrollPos = txtarea.scrollTop; var strPos = 0; var br = ((txtarea.selectionStart || txtarea.selectionStart == '0') ?

    1. COI know you can control the caret position with javascript so it sounds to me like it would be completely possible. I found this link for changing the position of the careet: [caret position](http://blog.vishalon.net/index.php/javascript-getting-and-setting-caret-position-in-textarea/)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
