I am trying to use something different from a <ul> as source for dragging an item to a sortable. I mean, the user have a table from where he would drag lines (<tr> elements) to a <ul> (sortable).

This beast even works (I can see <tr> elements inside a <ul> element, horrible combination). The problem is that I wanted to grab the <tr> and "transform it" in to a <li> before dropping it into the <ul> target. JQuery provides a way to access the item (via ui.item on its callback methods) but it seems that I can not change it (I tried, no dice).

Any ideas if this is even possible?
