Take a look at this Drag and Drop DHTML Dialog. Its pretty cool. It is a total crowse-browser compatible drag and drop interface. An example is given with a simple dialog box. But it is written in object oriented javascript, which makes easy to reuse (namespace collisions etc). It has a similar look to your lightweight tooltip… except draggable.
