Since last week, I've had issues with draggables suddenly 'freezing' on the facebook canvas page, for no apprent reason.This was tracked back to improper z-indexing for certain elements. So there.
I have also had a request out from a developer who wanted a special kind of snap-back, so that if a draggable is dropped anywhere on the canvas, it will snap back to its original position - unless it's dropped one a specific dropzone. That works now, like a clockwork :)
And the off-by-two, works on sundays, et.c. fetaures of the snapback are gone too. Now you can snap back relatively positioned elements with no worries.
The zip-file with the sample facebook application included (and a README!! Gosh!) is here; http://supercodex.com/backface/backface.zip
And if you just want to good around with the demo, you can find it here; http://apps.facebook.com/backface
No need to add or anything, just go there, no worries :)
Cheers,

I'm storing what i want to be the value of the hidden field, in the ID of my divs, so i can print the value i want (moreorless) out using: document.getElementById('restrict').setTextValue(""+Drag.obj.getId()+"");
But after this i'm a bit stuck (i also noticed that it doesn't appear in the source code so maybe i'd need some kind of ajax request?)
Thanks for this great library :)

You should be able to appendChild your newly created element to the form of your choice.
The view source option in browsers only display what was actually downloaded from the server, not anything that get modified or created thereafter.
I would recommend you to install firebug, and open its console, and then add console.log("...") statements to your code so that you can follow what happens and catch any errors that gets thrown.

I actually have firebug but just never thought about that (doh!), so it might have been working all this time and i just figured it wasn't because i couldn't see it :)
I'll give this a go
Thanks for your help
