Hey Ignacio,
I’m not a big fan of integrated ajax functionality. While it provides a
simple solution at first when you need something a little more complex or
customised it starts to show it’s limitations.
Rather than using the sx;div tag why not just use a plain div and then use a
jQuery ajax call, which can be triggered by your drag and drop event, to
retrieve the content from the server side. I suspect that you want to pass
your event coordinates to the server and display something appropriate.
I don’t use S2 ajax plugin as I’ve been burnt by it too often. So, somebody
else may be of more help on that front.
