Professional drag and drop window frames with scrolling content are suitable for all commercial and non-commercial Websites. The two basic examples below use a div layer in order to provide a scrolling region for content that spans several pages. The drag and drop window contains images and text organized by a table layout, and surrounded by a <div> layer so that a scroll region is brought into existence. Once activated the window can be set to appear permanently until closed, delayed auto-hide if inactive or any combination of a multitude of settings. The parameter options are fully customizable for each window object instance.

These interactive inline windows are extremely practical where condensed listings offer further details on the listed items when the cursor appears over them. Detailed information including multimedia (images, sound and video) and formatted text appear in single page, non-scrolling or multi-page scrolling windows.

The above examples demonstrate a common application of displaying item details based on a condensed listing of items within the same Web page that is restricted by its limited page layout space. An AJAX routine included with the ddobj package may be used to retrieve each item's details from a dynamic page requesting database information on the specific items. In the examples above, each object's formatted content is fed directly to the link when the mouse moves over the link as inline HTML. This action occurs when the Web page visitor moves the mouse cursor over a specific item link in the listing. The user action triggers an onmouseover event, which initiates the process of displaying a ddobj window with the specific item's detailed information. The practical application of this interactive component is often seen on Web pages with galleries of item thumbnails and listings where further details are shown when the mouse is moved over the thumbnail. Flash animations or other forms of multimedia may be embedded in the objects using plain HTML. Included with ddobj windows and frames are image preloaders and easy to use, robust AJAX routines so that external content can be loaded into the window objects from a dynamic script (PHP, ASP) that references a database (MySQL, MS-SQL) or external static file content (HTML, TXT, XML).
