Limiting the drag drop area

Is their a way to limit the area that a user can drag and drop the menu?

I am creating a portal page for our Intranet and would like to be able to limit where on the screen they can place portals. i.e. I want to prevent them from placing the portals over the Main menu or over some other important information.

Obviously I plan to use the menu to generate the portals.

Thanks

No method that I'm aware of. If the menu can be dragged, then it can be dragged anywhere within its container. I suppose you could try defining an iframe on the page (no visible borders or scroll), then place the menu within the iframe. When the menu hits a border of the iframe, it would get clipped (a visual clue to stop dragging it).

Cheers,

Kevin

Thanks, the iframe solution might actually work for me. I plan on using iframes for other parts of the site so adding one to the portal page would not be difficult.

Thanks
