Help needed with allowing edit of dropped text

[barb-14]

Hi,

I am trying to build a planner using draggable from menu items to a
calendar style grid. So I have set up a textarea as dropabble. I can
sucessfully drop multiple menu items into my textarea by appending
them to the html for the textarea, but if I change the text in the
textarea, by removing one of the items, which I would like to allow.
The item is not removed from the html, and any new entries dragged in
after this, even though added to the html are not visible in the
textarea. I see no errors in Firebug.

Is there a way to achieve this, or am I going to have to use different
droppable containers for each menu item dragged. How would I allow
deletion of an item?

Any help with strategy would be appreciated.

I would use an item other than a textarea. A div would do. Or you could use a UL and have each droppable item be a LI. As far as allowing for deletion, you could have a little X appear to the left or the right of the item when it's hovered over. Or you could allow for it to be dragged out, just as it was dragged in.
