UPDATED!!

Breaking down the question as suggested.

  1. I need to create a Look & Feel for a search application
  2. I need to have the components displayed on the left hand side and on the right I can drag-and-drop them and enter the data for the search criteria
  3. If there are more than one condition I would like to drag and drop the condition
  4. Finally I need to save/edit/open existing query

I am looking to build a query builder with drag and drop facility to build the query. I was wondering if there are any pointers for this.

I have looked into the jQuery plugins and some examples, but nothing to what I am looking for. Any suggesting?

  • Try and break your question down a bit more, what exactly are you struggling with? If it's everything the this will probably get closed as too localized very soon. Commented Sep 5, 2011 at 10:00
  • Funny, I think I'm going to have to build something quite similar at work here in a few days. Commented Sep 5, 2011 at 12:13
  • @Wouter: May be I can help you with that when you are at the point of implementation, because I have stared to work on it. It would take me sometime to get it up and running. Commented Sep 5, 2011 at 13:13

Well, if you fail to find something that will work completely how you want. You could try using this idea as a base and coding it up yourself:

Guess this is not very useful, but I'd guess you have to code something like that yourself. I've been using jQuery for a long time now, and I've never seen any plugins like that. Ever.
