Draggable: Custom helper position

Draggable: Custom helper position


I'm using the draggable plugin and passing a function for the helper
option. Although the user can start the drag from anywhere in the
draggable element, the helper element always appears in the top left
corner.
Is there a way to set the helper position to the mouse position when
dragging starts? Or is there some way to manually set the helper's
position? I've tried setting the top/left styles of ui.helper in the
start event but it doesn't work.
