This looks really cool. Can’t wait to try it out. I’m wondering what the possiblities and positives and negatives of having a movable sidebar would be. I mean the whole thing, not just the modules you have done on your test blog.hmmm.
Design to be thought about here!!
I also like the maovable comment form, means I don’t have to scroll down if I can’t see submit, I can just move the form, nice!!

[...] Ever thought of what AJAX can really do? If not, let Movable Anything – a new WordPress plugin mesmerize you.

MOVABLE ANYTHING…
…
I have to say that, as a proof of concept, it is an interesting thing to see. Yet, I find no need/use for it, nor I think it looks good on a weblog. If the “movable” boxes would attach (stick) to certain parts, on an organize way, would make more sense. Otherwise, just some cool thing that I can’ t code. IMHO.

That’s cool, I respect your opinion but I do think some people will use this and find that it works for a certain thing that they want to do. Like my comment form, you can’t say that having a movable comment form isn’t practical.
I agree with David, I would definately use this plugin if you could only move items to certain areas, for instance letting users re arrange my sidebar or change order of content on index page.
Is there any way your code could be modified to make moveable content ‘snap’ to certain admin defined areas?
thanks

Ben: I’m already looking into the options of saving the location of the moved boxes. Making the areas predefined you can easily setup in the css. Originally I had my site setup so you could only move the comment box up and down, within the content div. I changed that because of snapping issues but the option is already there you just need to edit the css (position).
Keep in mind the plug in is a .01 version, meaning it’s not even close to being finished. so reordering of the sidebar and other options like this could be in future releases.
One thing that isn’t ovbious is that one must grab at the header. On the dev test site this is more visible with the large gray headers on each box but the black on black background of this blog is not. I suggest using CSS to change the cursor shape on hover over the grabbable area.
Also, having moved the comment form, clicking Submit did not cause a page refresh or any other visible reaction; I had to manually refresh to see the result.
Bill: Looks like my template for pages with comments doesn’t like the ajax commenting. I’m going to see if it is a K2 thing or something I did now but I really like the cursor change when hovering over the contact form. I already changed the dev site and it will be in the next release.
Thanks.
Update: Looks like a K2 bug. I’ve disabled comments on my pages in the mean time.

[...] I just got the AJAX Periodic Table of the Elements up and running, thus creating myself several months of mind numbing HTML editing work, and I decided that I needed to make the shutter box movable. I was also trying to make the AJAX spell checker more usable, it turns out there is a missing Javascript call to disable the Activate Spell Check while Typing (I’m still working on that), and then I went off on a complete tangent and decided I needed to make the shutter box movable. Everybody is doing it. Google pays good money for this crap. So I searched around and found this Movable Anything WordPress Plugin and it’s associated AJAX script. [...]

[...] And by anything, I mean anything. Dan Cameron recently released a fresh plugin which allows content, sidebar items, or comment forms to be dragged n’ dropped wherever a reader prefers content to go. I’m not sure how useful this added feature would be without a little less control. Drag n’ drop is always slick, but a little more restriction by forcing modules or content to stick to certain areas might be beneficial. [...]
