Drag & Drop table within table

[Targa]

I have an ASP scheduling application in which there are blocks of time,
represented with a table, within another table which is the timeline.

In other words, I have a table with a vertical timeline. Each row represents
a 1/2 hour of time starting at 12 AM. The scheduled job is represented by
another smaller table inside the timeline table which spans vertically the
time alloted for the job. Say if the job was scheduled for 2 hours, the
table would be 8 rows tall and placed in the appropriate rows of the
timeline table, according to the scheduled time.

Anyway, Im looking for a way to be able to drag a scheduled job(table) from
one timeslot to another. Like from a 12 AM starting time to say - 5 AM.

The scheduling table pulls the data from a database so when a job is dragged
and dropped into a new timeslot, the database would need to be updated.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this or suggestions on which direction or
methods I should start to look at?

Thanks in advance!

You will need to consult a client-side scripting newsgroup or site for
information on drag&drop within a browser (try an internet search for
"javascript drag drop" or variants).

Once the "drop" occurs then you will have to send a request to the server
with the updated information to post the changes to the database. Identify
the information needed to update the database and make sure it is present in
the request.
