Is it possible to add a "hover" function to a droppable div when you drag a draggable element over it?

 

What I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to drag an element to a div (the div being the droppable area), and before I release the mouse and actually "drop" the element, I want to call a hover event on the div.  What I'm ultimately after is to get the mouse position of the dragged element so when I actually drop it, I can add the element's 'html' to the innerhtml of the droppable div in an absolute placement (I figured using a "hover" on the div would allow me a way to grab the coords while I'm still in the "drag" operation).

 

From what I've been able to tell, the hover event will only fire off after I've dropped the element on the div, then drag it around.

 

Am I just not understanding how things work, or is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
