jQuery Example: Inserting text with drag n’ drop
I’ve got another real world example of how to use jQuery to enhance your website. A friend emailed me this morning wondering if it was possible to insert text using the click event or drag n’ drop into a textarea. jQuery and jQuery UI to the rescue! Review the screenshots below or just go check out the demo page.

Shaun,
That is a cool idea. You might want to add a .css(”cursor”, “pointer”) in there or update your CSS file with the same for the links on the left as an improvement?

Good point. Done!
Possible to do the same thing with a div? For instance, say I have selected some text within a DIV, would it be possible to paste the text over the selection doing some sort of innerHTML replace?
