XPAGES DRAG AND DROP WITH DOJO TUTORIAL, PART 4: dragging between containers and setting the stage for partial (AJAX) updates.

This is part 4 of a series on drag and drop with Xpages and Dojo.

DEEP THOUGHTS 3, 8.5.1 EDITION

Reading all the press and Yellowverse comments about release 8.5.1 of Notes/Domino is illuminating. As a developer, yes, 8.5.1 is the answer to a great many prayers. In particular, XPages support is being fleshed out nicely, with an upgrade to the native Dojo JavaScript libraries and enhanced documentation. A definitive XSP tag dictionary would be nice, though. I still eagerly await a proper XPages debugger, which, I am happy to report, seems to be in the works. A complete rewrite of the creaky LotusScript editor based upon the modern goodness that is Eclipse is a welcome addition.
