I play Yahoo! Fantasy Sports Pro Football Pickem.

In it, you pick the winner of each NFL game every week.

I play a version that requires you to not only pick the winner, but to assign “confidence points” to each pick as well – that is, you assign a score to each pick indicating how confident you are about that pick.

The Yahoo! interface kinda sucks, though. In order to rank your teams, you have to use drop-down menus instead of a snazzy drag-and-drop interface. It’s kinda annoying.

I was inspired to create a little bit of Javascript code that allows you to arrange your picks using drag-and-drop.

To use my code as a bookmarket, simple drag this link to to your bookmarks bar. (Or if you’re using IE, right click on the link and choose “Add to favorites.” You may get a message that says “this link might not be safe.” Ignore that. It’s perfectly safe – IE is only popping up the message because the link you’re adding contains some javascript.)

Drag or Save this Link to Favorites: y! ff sort

Now navigate to your weekly picks page at Yahoo! and click the bookmark. You should get a dialog confirming that you may now make your picks by dragging and dropping them. Magic! (Be sure to hit “save” when you’re finished.)
