For pages that have a river of nodes it would be helpful to have a target that is always on the screen. If I and to scroll down the page and find a node to stack I might find that the target is off the screen and there is no way to scroll up while dragging. I am not javascript proficient enough to conquer this myself but it would be handy to have a target to drop on that is always on the screen...somehow.

Thanks -- This is a very useful module. I would like to extend it to operate as a bookmarking type module (which seems very easy) all I really need is a place that is always available to drop onto.

This is indeed an issue. If you have any suggestions on how to solve this with as few effort as possible, please reply.

Just a thought - I'm no Drupal developer, certainly not yet anyway.

There is a new DoubleClick module which offers hooks to other modules; given that it will be mostly admins/editors that will use this node stack module, would it be feasible to enable a double clicking action on the stack block (a div, probably)? This could then invoke a method to have a dhtml version of the target area appear in a fixed place on the screen, in a small overlaid panel. This would obviously track up/down with the scrolling movement of the page. Perhaps a small selector could be made available to change the on-screen position in case the panel overlaps the desired page element.

I won't fix this issue by myself. I don't use the module myself. It was merely created as a proof-of-concept. If you are using the module and can contribute a fix to this issue, I will happily review and commit it.
