This script is not very flexible either.
The problem is, you have to calculate almost everything by hand.
I put all the styles in the <style> element except "top".
The "top" attribute must be declared in the div elements.
"top" for the first div element is set to 150px.
The value for the space between each div element is stored in var sSpace.
I have it set to 5.
To calculate the "top" attribute for each successive div element, add the height and sSpace values to the "top" attribute of the previous div element.
Example:
First div element "top" attribute equals 150px.
Second div element "top" attribute equals 150 + height (20) + sSpace (5) equals 175px.
Third div element "top" attribute equals 175 + height (20) + sSpace (5) equals 200px.
Fourth div element "top" attribute equals 200 + height (20) + sSpace (5) equals 225px.
Fifth div element "top" attribute equals 225 + height (20) + sSpace (5) equals 250px.
If you change the height and/or sSpace then you must recalculate the "top" attributes.
Note: The height of the div elements can not be less than 19px.
If you try to make the height less than 19px , then it will be set to 19px.
Unfortunately this problem exists somewhere in the wz_dragdrop.<acronym title="JavaScript">js</acronym> script.
