How does My MSN implement column-resize & move?

[flashfan]

The features are great. I am curious how msn does that? any clue?

Does anybody pay attention to this?

Hi flashfan,

I've taken a quick look at this and they do it using some very nifty dHTML... From my tests all of the moving and resizing are IE only, although the pages do render well in Opera, Mozilla and Safari.

If you want to see what's going on, have a look at the page source and the associated JS files.

Using

 obj.swapNode(obj.previousSibling); 

or

 obj.swapNode(obj.nextSibling);

to move obj around. But still I don't know how to resize column.
