Rails spinoffs - Oct 2005 - Dragging to a textfield?

Hi All,
 
I''m trying to drag a copy of a string from a list into a text field so 
that the original string stays in the list. I''m able to drag the item 
and set the value of the text field onDrop. But the original text leaves 
the list & with revert set to true it flies back to it''s original 
position in the list. We''re trying to avoid the flying text.

What I''d like to do it drag a copy of the text and  onDrop set the
value
of the text field and have the element disappear. I''ve got the setting 
of the text field and I''m using Effect.Fade to remove the dragged 
element, but this removes the original entry from the list.

I''m sure there is a way to do this, but I haven''t been able to
figure it
out. Any ideas??

Thanks in advance!!
Linda ;)

Make sure you're using a very recent copy of scriptaculous, and use
set the ghosting parameter to true:

new Draggable('id_of_element', {ghosting: true, revert: false});

How recent you ask ?  Use one of the new release candidates.

Hope that helps !

I downloaded  V1.5_rc3 (2005-10-09) today but that doesn''t seem to do 
the trick. Is this a recent enough version or do I need something 
else??  :( The original item in the is still the one dragged.

Thanks!!!
