Drag and drop web items - javascript

I want to build a site where i can make some drag and drop elements on my website.
I want it to be something like the wordpress widgets. If the user wants to add another text box to a div area they can just drag it to that catagory and it adds an area to add text to there site.
I would like to to be all drag and drop but if they have to choose from a drop down where they want to send it (like box1 or box2 or box3) and then click a button that says add then that would be fine too.
How do i do this or is there a pre made one i can use?
Thank you for your help!

You can drag and drop items into something like a div. I found some information here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_draganddrop.asp.

Displaying a div on click of select menu without showing the drop down JavaScript

I have to make a customized drop down menu using JavaScript. On click of select box dropdown appears with the options, I need to customize the appearance of that menu.
My approach is to have a div with the options in it and required styling, when user clicks the select menu that div should appear instead of displaying drop down.
I tried using onclick() events but the dropdown menu appears before and then the div appears. This is not helping the cause.
Please suggest me how to achieve such requirement.
Maybe you could hide the options?
option { display: none; }
Why not complete replace the with your own DIV completely?

How to create a custom drop down box?

Okay hi guys and girls.
I am looking to create a drop down box from a header, i want it to be custom i.e. a drawing. I am just not 100% sure how to go about it, I have an idea of making a basic div with links for the drop down box and making it display empty until i click on a link making the css of the div style display to inline,
I was just wondering if there is a better way to go about it? i also want the drop box to slide in from top to bottom and not just appear.
Any help will be great!

Idea to have a pop-up box of radio boxes on a form

I am creating a search box form, but I would like to give the user the option of selecting certain categories from a large collection (say 300+). This would not work very well for a drop down menu, in my opinion.
I was wondering if you could create a pop up box with the background greyed out, like you do with images and have all the categories displayed horizontally as radio boxes and then the user could select one or more of the categories and return to the rest of the form.
I suppose I could use a hidden DIV, but the impact of a popup box would be preferable to me.
Anyone any guidance as to whether this is possible.
Thanks
Here is the solution.I just implemented it to show that it is possible. http://jsfiddle.net/raynesax/u9Ywu/
You can accomplish this easily with JQueryUI dialog functionality.
