Draggables.unregister should take an ID argument
Reported by andy k | August 5th, 2008 @ 01:56 PM
If you are creating Draggable objects dynamically (ex: a list of search results where the results can be dragged into another list), and you want to unregister draggable objects when the list changes, you must either have kept a reference to Draggable objects or you must loop through the Draggables.drags array matching element IDs in order to be able unregister.
It would be great if you could call Draggables.unregister(id) as well as Draggables.unregister(draggable).
Change...
drags:[] to drags:{}
drags.push(draggable) to drags[draggable.element.id]=draggable
unregister this.drags to
if(drags[draggable]) delete drags[draggable]
else delete drags[draggable.element.id]
Not sure if in that last part about deleting, you'd need to null out the draggable first before deleteing from the drags object.
This assumes that I've understood correctly the role of Draggables.drags and how/why to unregister them.
