I have an unfinished project where I was attempting something similar - I am going to throw it up on google code now and I guess put up a demo in case anyone is interested in the code. It's all just simple javascript/jquery proof of concept. You can see it here http://www.churchofturing.com/dragedit/dragedit.html http://www.churchofturing.com/dragedit/dragedit.html and google code is http://dragedit.googlecode.com http://dragedit.googlecode.com

Nice stuff! I just played around with it for a bit and it seems you have the basis of something interesting there, now for an application!

  thanks - I am always hesitant to release projects where I know it is only a quarter of the way there. But what good does it do just having it sit on my hard drive? hah. There are some key bindings working ctrl+space creates a new editing pane, ctrl+arrow keys should let you move between panes - however I wrote this so long ago that I did not know ctrl+space brings up a menu on mac. hah. The other key bindings do not seem to work on my mac either. If I get some time this weekend I think I will polish this up, get saving/loading/exporting working etc.

    I've had this idea for a while and maybe this can be a part of implementing it: A website where programmers can contribute 'widgets' which can be mashed together to create applications. Widgets would be written in python, and would have access to a bunch of underlying services and to other widgets. You'd use an interface like what you have here as the 'ide' to create the bits and pieces of code that go in to making a component, and then a similar interface to combine components in to working websites. The end result would be hosted on the same service, either using your own URL or using a subdomain of the service. It sounds like a large amount of work though, to get that up and running, especially the security angle is a complicated one.
