I've used a ticketing system called Lighthouse App for a while now, and one of the features I really like about it is its ability to tag content with keywords in a very easy and obvious fashion.

If you have ever wanted to tag an article or some content with a list of Keywords then this blog article is for you.

1Shaun, I'd like to be able to drag items (let's say grocery items) onto a list (let's say a grocery list) using JQuery and PHP to process and save the list. I found you drag and drop tutorial but I want the droppable to be in a list form. Is this easy?

This article explains how you can use a few JQuery interactions to create a sortable drag and drop list and save its state to a server side processing template.

JQuery Drag and Drop to multiple div elements

Posted By : Shaun McCran
Related Categories: RIA, Javascript, JQuery
My only previous experience with Drag and Drop web development was with Flex 2, which I have to say was a bit of a nightmare. There was an astronomical amount of setup to do in terms of event listeners and mouse watching services, so I was reluctant to get back into 'Drag and Drop' with any other technology.

This article explains how straight forward the JQuery Drag and Drop interfaces are to use, and how I constructed a Drag and Drop example using multiple divs.

There is an example of a JQuery Drag and Drop demo here. http://www.mccran.co.uk/examples/jquery-drag-drop
