jqueryui: Sortable
desired result: When a user drags a sortable item outside the containment, that the placeholder shows in the item's original spot, and reverts to this original spot if user drops while outside containment. If the user was dragging outside by then moved back inside, then sortable should continue as normal.
notes: I know I can store the start index on the 'start' event, and I can respond to the 'out' and 'over' event, but I'm not sure how to incorporate my desired result. Since I know that I can change the 'tolerance' to 'intersect' or 'pointer', is there a way for me to basically fire some 'tolerance check while dragging' event as if the user moused over the original spot (which would result in the placeholder updating it's current position).
Thanks for any help or direction.
