Rails spinoffs - Mar 2006 - Sortables/Draggables and overflow

If the containing element has it’s overflow property set to anything but 
"visible" and I try to drag something out of the list, the draggables 
are dragged underneath the “border” ( the hidden area of the container) 
and thus become partly or completely invisible. Any ideas to prevent 
this from happening?

I think, a future solution might be to immediately (on startDrag) detach 
the draggable element from its container and attach it to something like 
body, but that would involve a lot of changes, I guess.

Thanks,
- Julian

I have done exactly that in my dragdrop.js (warning, highly modified)...

To use that method in my file, set both "ghosting" and
"floating" (my proprietary option) to true. Then when you start
dragging, it clones the element and attaches it at the document level.

Use at your own risk. (attached without the ".js" extension to get
past company email filter)
