Web Parts in ASP.NET ???

[deniseb]

there is something called Web Parts in ASP.NET 2.0.. that allows webviewers to customize their webpage by dragging "zones" and dropping them wherever they want them.. when the view comes back to their page the zones are where they left them...

does anyone know how to do this in PHP and MySQL on a Linux system? or where I might find an explanation of how this is done? or if there is something already out there like WebParts for php and linux?

thanks!

Netscape was doing that on their portal site long before MS renamed whatever it was to make .NET. I haven't worked with it but it looks like Yahoo has provided you with a huge load of UI candy at http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ including drag/drop page elements.

Yes, anybody can do that. You don't need .net stuff.

I don't really want the .net stuff.. I just really wanted to know how to do it with php and MySql?? can you point me somewhere that explains it?

Thanks!

Did you even look at what I showed you? This is client side stuff, and can be served up by anything you're using for your application.

I did look at it.. and it looks like that is exactly what we want to do.. I sent the link to our programmer who was having trouble understanding how it is done. Thanks very much. I think that will help him figure it out.
