jQuery Forum

Hi. I'm successfully using draggable in isolated test code under both IE and FireFox. The dragged item's clone appears as soon as I click and drag, the appropriate drop target lights up, and all is well.

However, in my integration with legacy code, I've somehow broken the helper clone under IE. When I drag, the drop target lights up, and it accepts the drop, but the clone never appears. To the best of my furious diffing, it looks like the test and legacy code are the same and source the same css and js files, but of course the legacy code sources in many other js and css files, so it's impossible to compare apple to apples.

I'm at a loss... any suggestions for getting the clone to work? I've tried using appendTo: 'body' and zIndex: 1000 as suggested in other posts, but no luck.

Thanks!

I don't know what to call this, but does jquery draggable support behavior like igoogle where widgets get out of each other's way? For example, if I move a widget from the third column to the first, it will displace whatever widget is already there.

Thanks!
