dynamic content and sortables
I'm having trouble with dynamic content and the sortable function in
ui.jquery (I've tried the same test with static content and it seems
to work fine).
It's inconsistent and hard to explain: when a selected element is
dragged into a new position, what should be the placeholder (i.e., the
element about to receive the dragged element) doesn't seem to
recognize that it's about to receive the element and doesn't become a
placeholder. It's a minor problem, but a problem that breaks the usual
behavior of how the sortable function works.
I've made a test page here:

I've also made a screencast to demonstrate the behavior:
http://staff.washington.edu/jtate/dev/sortable_problem2.mov
You see at about 11-12 seconds into the movie that you can hover one
tile over another without the placeholder appearing. Without opacity
turned on you can basically hide one tile with another instead of the
tiles making room for what's being sorted.
It could very well be something I'm doing wrong in my CSS and it could
also be the intended behavior. I'd appreciate any input.
thanks,
