web page coding, drag and drop images into grid, +....?
+ checkbox that appears for each image [called as part of drop event]
+ automatic snap to grid; below existing items to go on end, in between to jostle into position [push later items down list]
+ priority for first, then second, third, etc. in list
+ location for items/paths to save
I'm assuming it's entirely possible to create such a page, but using what source? Looking into HTML5 I'm almost convinced, but I often find a reference to javascript too and wonder what will be best of all - just that there will be other features to make use of the images and browse/append other saves...
Thanks for the html5 heads up - I had been reading from http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/editing.html#dnd
& obviously haven't read all of it, I do have some javascript literature to peruse too though.

HTML5 isn't a programming language. When somebody talks about creating a web app in HTML5, they actually mean JavaScript, since that is what web apps are written in.
HTML "only" states the layout and content of a page. JavaScript is what actually runs in the browser and allows you to react to clicks, to change around the elements, etc.
If this is for some kind of database, you'll also need server side scripting, for instance PHP.
Here's what JavaScript can do in a browser: http://www.cuttherope.net/
